Excerpt from Christ as a Teacher Jesus move the world. An Aristotle may sway the human mind for ages, but he must ere long drop the scepter, Christ extends his moral dominion with every revolving year. The words of Zoroaster, Confucius, Mohammed, abide not the light, the words of Christ make light, and make it more and more abound. Scott, Baxter, Byron, can move only a particular frame of mind and tone of heart, the Saviour reaches the mind in all its frames, the heart in all its tones. Every principle he announces has a world-wide sweep. Lviark his summary of the law: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, etc.-a precept so narrow as to measure the smallest thought of the smallest man, so broad as to compass the mightiest outgoings of the largest angel, so perfect as to bind all moral beings to the throne of God, and produce eternal and universal harmony and happiness and progress. Mark, too, his revelation of God: God so loved the world, etc. Neither the element - love, nor the measure - the gift of his only. Begotten, nor the purpose - the whosoever - can be exceeded even in conception. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
