' Him at least we can trust, in the
dark and dreadful things of this world, as well as in the bright and
cheerful ones; and say with Job, 'Though he slay me, yet will I
trust in him. I have received good from the hands of the Lord, and
shall I not receive evil?'
SERMON V. ABRAHAM
(First Sunday in Lent)
GENESIS xvii. 1, 2. And when Abram was ninety years old and nine,
the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty
God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
I have told you that the Bible reveals, that is, unveils the Lord
God, Jesus Christ our Lord, and through him God the Father Almighty.
I have tried to show you how the Bible does so, step by step. I go
on to show you another step which the Bible takes, and which
explains much that has gone before.
From whom did Moses and the holy men of old whom Moses taught get
their knowledge of God, the true God?
The answer seems to be--from Abraham.
God taught Moses more, much more than he taught Abraham. It was
Moses who bade men call God Jehovah, the I AM; but who, hundreds of
years before, taught them to call him the Almighty God?
The answer seems to be, Abraham.
