Excerpt from A Sermon: Preached in S. Barnabas' Church, Pimlico, on the Second Sunday After Easter "Jesus said, I am the good Shepherd." - S. John x. 11. Our Blessed Lord has represented Himself to us in several characters, and has likened Himself to things on the earth, in order that we may the better realize the fulness and variety of His work on our behalf. - Thus, under the similitude of a "Vine, " He teaches us the need of unity, even while the branches of His Church are distinct one from another. All radiate from Him - all centre in Him - all draw their life out of Him. If sin, of whatsoever kind it be, check the even flow of grace which springs up in Him, and nourishes us, then the branch is dried up and withered - it bears no fruit, it is cut down, and cast into the fire and burned. So again as the "Door." He would have us learn that it is by Him only we can enter into the fold. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
