Description:Excerpt from What Does Christianity Profess to Give in the Present to Its Followers?: Two Sermons Preached at St. Augustine's Church, Highbury I ask you to notice, amongst other things, the mystery which surrounds the person of Melchizedek. He comes into the sacred narrative, without preface and without warning. All that is told about him, is brought within the compass of three verses. He appears suddenly, and disappears as suddenly; and, perhaps, if circumstances had been different, we should have considered for a moment who Melchizedek was, and why he was mentioned, and then should have dismissed the matter, altogether, from our minds. But a thousand years passes by, and Melchizedek's name emerges again in connection with the Jewish Messiah, in an inspired Psalm of King David, which depicts to us in a most graphic and striking way the anointed one of God. As we read the Psalm, it is clear that Melchizedek is a personage of no slight importance. He is a representa tive, a type of the coming Messiah. And we must look at the one, if we are really desirous of understanding the character and the work of the other. This, then, brethren, let us do. Let us compare, as well as we can, the two figures; Messiah, and Melchizedek. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
