Great Sermons in Church History: The Excellency of Christ by Jonathan Edwards (Introduction and Part I)
In one of the most moving sermons of the First Great Awakening, Jonathan Edwards delivered this three-part masterpiece inspired by Revelation 5:5-6. In it, given around 1738, Edwards explores the beautiful truth of Christ's being both Lion and Lamb.
*Keep in mind, words in 1738 are not always of the same meaning as we intend them today. For example: Edwards will use the word "meanness" consistently throughout the sermon. This word, as used by Edwards, means "of lowly nature, or lowly estate." When he speaks of the condescension of Christ, he means his humility.
