The Cross and Christ in a Brooklyn Tabernacle Sermon
Reverend sermonizes on Luke fourteen twenty seven, detailing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. He compares historical crucifixions to the cross Jesus bore, and urges listeners to take up their own crosses by testifying faith in daily life and in business, home, and society. He references Rubens's painting of the scourging and recalls a tale of a church officer in New York. The message centers on substitution, devotion, and carrying the cross to follow Christ.
