The Cross and the Crown

Great Sermons in Church History: The Excellency of Christ by Jonathan Edwards (Part II)


Listen Later

In one of the mot 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 range of Christ's excellencies as both Lion and Lamb.

*Keep in mind that some of the words that Edwards uses in 1738 are not used in the same way today. For instance, "meanness" meant "of lowly nature, or lowly estate." When he speaks of the condescension of Christ, he means the humility of Christ.
