SERMON BY JOHN J. CORNELL.1 NEW commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." In this declaration to his immediate disciples Jesus summarized all the teachings with which he had instructed them, and pointed out in these few but clear expressions the evidences that were to be brought by them before the world, of the real character of the religion they were to espouse and promulgate among the children of men. We to-day, who believe in the Christian religion, claim by that belief also to be his disciples, and the obligations which were there imposed are just as clearly binding upon us as they were on those to whom it was spoken. There is in it the same lesson of deep instruction. It may be a query in some mind, why it was that after he had chosen these men to be his disciples and followers, had anointed and qualified them, and sent them forth to preach his gospel, that just before he was called to leave them, he should have found it necessary to give so emphatic an injunction that they should love one another even as he had loved them. To me, it was because he clearly saw that they were human. That they had different gifts and different endowments. Their experiences, although they had listened to his teachings, would in the future be different, though they were to be guided by the same revelation of the spirit of truth. Under the new circumstances by which they were to be surrounded, in the different characters of their intellects, and the different endowments which were given them, they would necessarily have to work in different vineyards. There was therefore danger that jealousies and envies might arise among them; that there might be disagreements, and each would 1At Richmond, Indiana, Ninth month 20th, 1885. Report furnished the INTELLIGENCER AND JOURNAL from notes by E. H. and F. M. Robinson. think his own ideas or opinions the more correct, as human beings are apt to do, and the doctrines each promulgated as being the most necessary for others to observe. And therefore it became necessary that he should caution them, before he left them, against the consequences of allowing these feelings to gain possession of their minds. It is equally as necessary for us to-day, who are claiming to be children of God, disciples of Christ, to watch against the uprising of these jealous and envious feelings, or against that disposition which would incline us to regard our own peculiar doctrines or any opinions we find essential, as binding upon others; that they must embrace them in the same form that we do. From this cause, largely, arise the divisions and differences in the human family, and the partition walls among those who are making a profession of the christian name; and there are instances of biblical history that show that these disciples were not clear of the effects of this disposition against which they were cautioned. Hence, we may take this injunction home to ourselves, in this our day. It is equally as binding and forcible to us now as upon those to whom it was spoken, and we are to love one another as Jesus loves us, Jesus or the Son being the spirit of God, the Christ of God, the true Savior, the Son and sent of the Father. Jesus' love for his disciples, Christ's love for us, is entirely and purely unselfish in its character. He sought not his own aggrandisement by choosing, employing, qualifying and anointing them for the work, he gave them to do, but he sought to benefit and instruct them. He sought, by giving them a field in which to labor, to advance their best interest, and preserve them from all that was evil within them. There are many ways in which we are to carry out this injunction in its practical application in our movements among the children of men, and I regard it as essential to-day, for us, in our christian work, to bring that work down into the practical duties of life. If our profession is to be of any benefit to us, it is by our making a practical application of this injunction. The first duty that is enjoined upon us in this application of "Love one another," is to carry that love into the home life. The work of the Christ-power upon our souls, is first to purify them, bringing them under subjection to the divine will. This is our profession. When we claim to have made a change of heart, a change of purpose, to have been born again, it is the result simply of our being willing to be governed and guided by the Christ of God as it appears |
