Description
Excerpt from Outlines of Sermons: For Special Occasions
The Debt of Love. Rom. xiii. 8. "Owe no man anything, but to love one another."
It is intended throughout the whole of this season of advent, that the Church's missions of grace should be so impressed upon us, that they should be as seasonable voices; for seasons, even of nature, have their power to ad dress our sentiments. Throughout the season the various missions of grace strike upon the soul and sound it.
"This ear with awful, still delight
Counts them like minute bells at night,
Keeping the heart awake till dawn of morn" -
until the dawn of morn, when the thought of the advent gradually passes into the very presence, revealed fully, of the Saviour. When the note of admonition and of warning shall have taken effect, the souls of those who rejoice in God may feel the welcome tidings of great joy that unto us a Child is born, "unto us a Son is given."
1. This season now witnesses to us of one great truth God is our Judge, and He hath committed all judgment unto the Son. The Son of God witnesses of the everlasting Father, and His life and His teaching are indeed the throne to which we appeal, and before which we stand, as we do now and ever. I will not bid you think of some absent judge that will some day come, as though all the interval were a dreary solitude apart from God's presence; but each day is a witness to us, and each hour is a testimony that Christ is near us, and about us, and never leaves or forsakes us.
II. The text, "Owe no man anything, but to love one another," surely of itself is a judgment separating in our souls what is unbrotherly and hateful from what is tender and loving.
