Synopsis
Excerpt from The Religious Instruction of the Slaves in the West India Colonies Advocated and Defended: A Sermon Preached Before the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society, in the New Chapel, City-Road, London, April 28, 1824
We call Christianity, emphatically, a revelation. It is so. It is a revelation of God, of a Redeemer, and of a Future Life. But with scarcely less emphasis may it be entitled a revelation of Man. At its first promulgation, it placed him under aspects new, at least, to the world of Gentiles; and, to this moment, it continues to stamp upon him this signature of his value in the sight of God, that all the truths which the revelations of the inspired Scriptures contain were made for his sake; that for him the veil has been withdrawn from the attributes of God; for him the Redeemer left "the bosom of the Father;" and for him the manifestations of immortality now bound the vanities of the present life with the stupendous realities of another.
Its discovery of the solemn and consolatory relations in which man stands to God, is accompanied also by a most interesting declaration of the relation in which man stands to his fellows. When two passages were recorded in our Scriptures by the inspiration of their Author, views on this subject as novel as they were tender and benevolent were opened on the world. One affirms, that God "hath made of One Blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth;" that they are of one family, of one origin, of one common nature: the other, that our Saviour became incarnate, "that he, by the grace of God, should taste death for every man." Behold the foundation of the fraternity of our race, however coloured and however scattered.
