Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christ Legends When I was five years old I had such a great sorrow I hardly know if I have had a great since. It was then my grandmother died. Up to that time, she used to sit every day on the corner sofa in her room, and tell stories. I remember that grandmother told story after story from morning till night, and that we children sat beside her, quite still, and listened. It was a glorious life No other children had such happy times as we did. It isn't much that I recollect about my grandmother. I remember that she had very beautiful snow-white hair, and stooped when she walked, and that she always sat and knitted a stocking. And I even remember that when she had finished a story, she used to lay her hand on my head and say: "All this is as true, as true as that I see you and you see me."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends of the Virgin and Christ: With Special Reference to Literature and Art N visiting the art galleries at home or abroad, or in turning over the pages of the current magazines, we find countless pictures of Christ and the Virgin Mary. Some of the most famous paintings in the world are based upon, or give some hint of, the numerous legends concerning Mother and Son which were so very popular during the Middle Ages. The prevalence of these tales, only some of which are embodied in the canon of any Christian church, was owing to the fact that they satisfied the childlike curiosity of people anxious to know more about the subject than could be found in the brief but authentic Scriptural account.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christ Story The angel knew that She was troubled, and he said to her, Fear not, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Then when he saw that she was no longer afraid, he gave her the most wonderful message that was ever brought to a woman in all the years Since the world began. In the days that are to come, he said, God will send you a child. His name Shall be Jesus, and he shall be called the Son of the Highest. God will give him the throne of David forever. How can this be Mary asked; but the angel answered only, The power of the High est shall overshadow you, and the child shall be called the Son of God. It was all so strange that the young girl did not know even what question to ask, but she said meekly, I am the handmaid of the Lord let it be with me as you have said. The face of the angel grew still more radiant as he gazed tenderly upon her, and then he went away. All through the Silent night Mary thought about the words that the angel had spoken.

More than that, my aim is not to repeat the little that we know about the youth of Jesus; it is to seek for that which has not been told us. The early Christians, surprised at the sobriety of the gospel narratives, tried to make up for the silence of history, and composed the apocryphal Gospels of the Infancy. I am attempting a study of this sort, but I have no intention of writing a work of pure imagination, like that of the authors of the antique legends. I would fain say what must have been the life of Jesus until his thirtieth year, by deducing from known facts some facts unknown.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Jesus the Christ Shakespeare and Jesus, and for the last thirty years I have always spoken of Jesus as the greatest of the sons of men, the first indeed who discovered the soul and spoke from it and for it as higher than the reason; who in fact nineteen hundred years ago knew and acted on the truth which Bergson in our time is so praised for having glimpsed. The other day I picked up a life of Napoleon and found that in his exile at St. Helena he had used the very same expression about Jesus: He speaks from the soul, he said, as never man Spoke; the soul is sufficient for him, as he is sufficient for the soul. Before him. The soul was nothing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A People s Life of Christ Classic Reprint written by John Paterson Smyth and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A People's Life of Christ He tells of the Father looking on us with love and pain. He tells of the joy in Heaven over one sinner that repents on earth; of the earth-children's guardian angels "always beholding the face of the Father which is in Heaven." He tells of Abraham in that Unseen life rejoicing to see His day here, so interested is that world in ours. In the story of the Transfiguration, Moses and Elijah, two of the great old world saints, came out from that Unseen life to meet their Lord and speak to Him - of what? Of Pharaoh and the Red Sea - of Ahab and Naboth's vineyard - the things that interested them most on earth? Ah, no. They also had been caught up into the kindly interest of the great souls who are watching us from the galleries of Creation. "They spake of His decease which He should accomplish at Jerusalem." Does it not suggest the deep, absorbing interest which they and their great comrades within the Veil were taking in the drama of Redemption on earth? This is all comparatively modem - only two thousand years ago. But St. Paul tells the Ephesians that this deep interest in us has been from the beginning, that the coming of the Christ was no mere afterthought It was the eternal purpose of God's love, he says, from the foundation of the world that the eternal Christ should save humanity, that the poor earth-children should be gathered into the arms of the Father. God was always caring. Keeping all this in mind we shall better understand what the Bible teaches, that 'every incoming of God into human experience is prepared there in the Unseen before it expresses itself here in the Seen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bethlehem to Olivet: The Life of Jesus Christ Yet in no portion of the life of Jesus Christ is there really greater glory than in His birth. Nothing showed more love for the world than His condescending to be born. We should say that the heart of the gospel was the cross, but the first act of redemption was the Incarnation, when the Son of God emptied Himself of His divine attributes and entered human life in all the feebleness and helplessness of infancy. In its reveal ing of love and grace, the cradle of Jesus is as marvellous as His cross. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
