- Description:
- Manuscript sermon of Joseph Ruggles Wilson, originally delivered at First Presbyterian Church (Wilmington, N.C.), 1883. Delivered also at Second Presbyterian Church (Richmond, Va.), January 10, 1897 and again at First Presbyterian Church (Wilmington, N.C.), April 24, 1898. Wilson describes how Christ's disciples fled and forsook him at the time of his arrest and explains how their actions were a product of a double hope. They hoped that Christ would re-establish Israel as a powerful empire and that they would have an advantageous place there. Once Christ submitted to arrest this hope fell apart and they fled, only later realizing the spiritual nature of Christ's kingdom. He finishes by describing a friend on death's door who exemplified this idea perfectly. Sermon on Mark 14:50.
