Rev. Charles Bridges' Address to about Five Hundred Assembled Clergy, at the Annual Meetings in Dublin (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Rev. Charles Bridges' Address to About Five Hundred Assembled Clergy, at the Annual Meetings in Dublin

Arcl of the Special power of the grace of God with you so that we ourselves may be instructed, and racour aged, and established by what we see, and know, and hear from you. New, I would bring this to bear on the grand primary part of our work, and that is, the exalting of our dear Saviour in our ministry. This you you know, dear friends, is the object for which we are to live - to set up Christ, and nothing else, before our people Christ, his blood and righteousness, the ground ofour hope Christ, his quickening Spirit, the principle of life in our souls Christ, the way, the truth, and the life Christ, the refuge and consolation, the present, eternal salvation of his people. Ah, dear friends, when we look at the hepes of a fallen world, when we know that they are centered in him it isthis that fixes our purpose, to know nothing but Jesus Christ, and him crucified it is this that gives us on. Text, that furnishes the materials of our sermons, that brings out the commanding truths of the Gospel, that exhibits the Gospel before the church in a more Vivid apprehension of glory in the person and work of our Saviour. Iwould Just beg to set before you simply two points of moment in this matter, and that is, that our ministration inchrist should be a continually advancing ministration, and that it should be an entire ministra tion. N ow you know, my friends, that the whole sum and substance of the Gospel, is one single sentence Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
