Sermon II.—The incidents which took place on Mount Tabor, and the lessons they give us.
1. By labour must we pass to glory, for it was “after six days” and a laborious ascent that the mountain-top was reached.
2. Beatitude is to be sought above, not on earth, for the disciples were rebuked for desiring to make tabernacles on earth, the true tabernacle being in heaven.
3. In every act we should consider the end: thus Christ in the glory spoke of His approaching decease.
4. Those who would see the glory of God must watch.
5. Christ is to be heard by all, for He is glorified of His Father.
6. Christ’s passion to be constantly before the minds of His servants.
