Excerpt from The Return of the Angels: Sunday Evenings in a Glasgow Pulpit
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. Gen. Xxxii. 1.
Well-nigh twenty years had passed away, since Jacob had had his vision at Bethel. They had been years of hard and constant labour they had been years of remarkable prosperity. No longer was Jacob an empty-handed fugitive, leaving his home for an uncertain future. God had been with him, and had advanced him wonderfully, and had blessed him in his basket and his store. And1 now he was a rich and prosperous man, master of herds and flocks innumerable, and with a host of servants at his call, ready to further him in every I venture. There are men who prosper and who pay for prospering by never seeing the angels any.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and teachings of Jesus Christ through the lens of his relationship with nature. The author delves into the imagery of nature in the Gospels, analyzing how Christ, despite his immersion in social concerns, remained deeply connected to the natural world. The book examines Jesus's love for nature, drawing parallels between his own life in Nazareth and the temptations he faced. It explores the serenity that Christ found in nature, as well as his ability to perceive its vastness while remaining attuned to its humblest details. The author challenges the misconception that Christ was simply a dreamy, imaginative youth, suggesting that his love for nature stemmed from his profound connection to God. The book then delves into the symbolic significance of the crown of thorns, arguing that it represents the inherent complexities of human existence, symbolized by the duality of glory and suffering, knowledge and ignorance, and the ever-present tension between joy and pain. The book offers a profound meditation on the enduring power and relevance of Christ's teachings, demonstrating that his insights into the human condition and the natural world remain as relevant and insightful as they were centuries ago. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
