This collection of sermons from 1895 appear to be unique in several regards, as we consider them historically from Ellen White's perspective:
- She was present in person to hear them preached.
- She described them in what could be called "Acts 2 Pentecostal" terms.
- Her secretary took them down in shorthand.
Here are samples of her descriptions:
- Instruction precious as gold
- A feast of precious things
- The truth in new lines
- The truth in clear and simple style, yet rich in nourishment
- The burning words of truth as heard in 1844
- A glorious and convincing light
- Hardly a discourse that could be called a doctrinal sermon
- In every sermon Christ preached
- Exalting Jesus higher and yet higher
- Nothing but the plain gospel
These are the themes she listed as presented regarding Jesus:
- His preexistence
- His personal dignity
- His work as Creator
- His relation to the Sabbath
- His relation to man as the source of life
- His holy law uplifted
- His Presence and work in the hearts of men
- His coming the second time in glory and power
The reaction of unbelievers she described in these words:
- Are deeply interested
- Turn pale and say, "That man is inspired"
- Listen as if spellbound
- Sit with their eyes riveted in amazement
- Say, "All the words are precious"
- Say, "I have never attended meetings where Christ was more manifestly taught and exalted"
- Beg a copy of the discourses
In light of the above, would you--
- Like to read more completely about this amazing evangelistic experience?
- Like also to "beg a copy of the discourses"?
Just continue reading, for the background and content of these unique talks. You just may respond like Ellen White--
"How can Seventh-day Adventists preach any other doctrine?"
