In publishing this Appendix I know that I am playing with fire.
For some, it will, once and for all, prove that my works should
be avoided. I am a dangerous man, not to say verging on being a
heretic. This Appendix will be the last straw.1
On the other hand, for a few – almost certainly, only a very few
– it might be that reading these pages might prove to be a
blessing, an eye-opener, something which might, for them, shed
new light on a well-known and frequently-preached passage. It
might remind them how many evangelicals have allowed one of
the great truths of the new covenant to slip through their fingers.
Furthermore, it might help them to see how Christ was
magnificently glorified from a most unexpected quarter at what
seemed to be his lowest point. (Do not miss my deliberate,
repeated use of „might‟ in all that!). Anyway, the writing of this
book (this Appendix in particular) has done all that for me. |
