PRACTICAL SERMONS, CHIEFLY ON THE SECOND ADVENT OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. TO WHICH IS ADDED A LECTURE ON ROMANISM. BY J. FAWCETT BEDDY, M.A., Late Vicar of St. Thomas's, Monmouth. "BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY: HOLD THAT FAST WHICH THOU HAST, THAT NO LONDON G. T. GOODWIN, 8, PATERNOSTER ROW. PREFACE. THE following sermons were preached at Monmouth, between the years 1827 and 1868.. The Author's ministerial labours were brought to a close last year by reason of a severe attack of hooping-cough, from which he did not expect to recover. It has, however, pleased our gracious God and heavenly Father so to bless medical skill, and the fine and invigorating air of Westonsuper-Mare, that he is now restored to health. His first employment, since his recovery, has been to revise those sermons. Some of the sermons have reference to the Second Advent. The coming again of the Lord Jesus Christ in His kingdom, with power and great glory, is one of the precious truths made known in the Holy Scriptures. It is an article of the Christian faith, and it is the great and blessed hope of the Christian Church. The Saviour says, "Surely I come quickly." May all His believing people, whom the apostle addresses as "elect of God, holy and beloved," joyfully exclaim, "Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." "Come out of Thy royal chambers, O Prince of all the kings of the earth, put on the visible rohes of Thy imperial majesty. Take up that unlimited sceptre which Thy almighty Father hath bequeathed for now the voice of Thy bride calls Thee, and all creatures sigh to be renewed." Belmont, Weston-super-Mare. THE AUTHOR. |
