NEVER did any man speak as Jesus spoke.  As far as we have any record of His utterances, the most admired discourse He ever delivered was the Sermon on the Mount. But even the Sermon on the Mount yields in force and pales before the Sermon on the Cross.  There we find eloquence in action; and if our Lord had restricted His mission on earth to the preaching of the Word, like the Scribes and Pharisees, without illustrating it by the splendour of His example, He would never have caused that mighty revolution which has changed the face of the world; nor would He be adored today by millions of disciples from the rising to the setting of the sun.
