Synopsis
Excerpt from The Shields of the Earth Belong Unto God: A Sermon Delivered in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York City, Sunday, February 22, 1920
Jesus Christ, Who took it up and repeated it in His immortal words, How often would I have gathered thee as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings. Here we find the fulfillment of the ancient psalm, Behold, O God, our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed. Thus in Christ the conception as shield and protector comes to its perfection. He has for His special province the defense of man. But for Him man is indeed defenseless. Living enemies attack him. Poverty, disease, and death are forever threatening. Remorse for his past chases him like a bloodhound. Fears for some ambush of fate in the future lie in wait and beset his way. It is no wonder that men gloried in the discovery that God was their shield, and in the vision of that shield in Christ.
