Acts 13:17-41
The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelled as strangers in the land of Egypt…


The history of the world in the light of the gospel transfigured into the history of the kingdom of God.

I. ITS PLACE is sketched out before in the eternal counsels of Divine wisdom, power, and love.

II. ITS SECTIONS OF TIME are stations on the progress of humanity to its destination.

III. ITS HEROES are the vassals of Christ, and willingly or unwillingly the servants of His kingdom.

IV. ITS END is the glorification of God in humanity.

(K. Gerok.)
