Beecher Sermon on the Unchangeable Christ at Brooxtyx
Henry Ward Beecher preached for the first time since returning from the South. He grew emotional while referring to General Grant and spoke on Hebrews 13 8, arguing that God is not merely immutable but increasingly understood through the unfolding of human consciousness and the life of Christ. He emphasized the dynamic nature of divine love, substitution of old atonement notions, and the hope of heaven for the departed.
