Description:Excerpt from Modern Scottish Pulpit: Sermons by Ministers of Various Denominations We can easily conceive Of a poor, wandering, lost Sheep, stum ling in darkness; and, when light shines forth on the scene around, perceiving no place of comfort, and no promising path. We may picture to ourselves its disconsolate wanderings to and fro, even while no enemy appears, and its despairing cry when the wolf is seen approaching. Let us suppose also that, in the very crisis of the animal's fate, a strong step and a vigorous arm are interposed between the ravager and his victim. Let us look upon the Shepherd, suddenly appearing 1n dark and wonder ful con ict with the beast of prey. Let us see him shed his blood. Let us see him give his life to save that lost and foolish Sheep, and let us observe the means of safety thus secured. Let us imagine the Shepherd, recovered from fearful wounds and risen from the grasp of death, coming forth to guide the wanderer to the true fold. Let us fancy his hand pointed to a green Spot far Off, and the trembling animal beginning to discern Something of the brightness of that Spot, through the mists which are gathered on the immediate scene in which it moves. Then cheerfulness would revive in its heart. Then the instinct of hope would cause it to follow joyfully the footsteps of its deliverer. We are warranted by Scripture in applying this analogy to the case of a once lost, but now recovered sinner. The blindness of all men by nature is great and deplorable. We wander far from God, without knowing what we are doing. The child perseveres in its wayward courses; the young man or young woman pursues with eagerness the paths of earthly gaiety; the prosperous man of business becomes more and more intent, every day, upon his schemes of aggrandisement the ambitious leader of a party sees nowhere to halt in his exciting career. These are all taken up with their several Objects. They Often think themselves wise in their generation. They often obtain the approbation of admiring circles gathered round them. But Often they are all blind to the true character of the roads which they are rapidly traversing. Often they are blind to the danger of the dark mountains which they are approaching, and to the spiritual barrenness of the soil in which they are sowing their seed. But suddenly some one among them is awakened to the terrible certainties of his lost and wandering state. Conviction of his guilt, and experience of his corruption, have opened his eyes to discern a fearful abyss before his feet. He knows not which way to turn. The guilt of his sin stares him in the face. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
