O knihe

Excerpt from Sermons Preached at Uppingham School, Vol. 2

This is the main outline of the great prophecy of the last day, when the disciples asked, When shall these things be, and what are the signs of Thy coming? And the three parables of the faithful and wise steward, of the ten virgins, and of the householder leaving home and entrusting talents to his slaves, all belong to this prophecy, and follow one another. They all agree in one point, the seeming delay. They all agree in this delay being only seeming, for_the present life is judged in all three; the Lord comes and nothing is left out be cause he was thought to be absent.

The first parable deals with men in power who think their lord is out of the way, and misuse their power.

The second of the ten virgins, which is the one I wish to draw your attention to, deals with the enthusiasm and love which sleeps, because the end is not soon.
