The following is a list of the subjects for one Sunday—the second in Lent:—
St. Matt. xvii. “He was transfigured before them.”
Sermon I.—The means whereby a hardened sinner may be transformed into a new man, and his heart be softened.
- By constantly hearing God’s Word.
- By assiduous prayer.
- By earnest endeavour.
- By diligent practice of virtues.
Sermon II.—The incidents which took place on Mount Tabor, and the lessons they give us.
- By labour must we pass to glory, for it was “after six days” and a laborious ascent that the mountain-top was reached.
- Beatitude is to be sought above, not on earth, for the disciples were rebuked for desiring to make tabernacles on earth, the true tabernacle being in heaven.
- In every act we should consider the end: thus Christ in the glory spoke of His approaching decease.
- Those who would see the glory of God must watch.
- Christ is to be heard by all, for He is glorified of His Father.
- Christ’s passion to be constantly before the minds of His servants.
