Excerpt from The Attraction of the Cross: A Discourse Before the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, at Their Meeting at Norwich, Conn., October 6, 1868
Consider, now, the remarkable fact, that such a man, so circumstanced, with such distinct expectation of soon being put to death ignominiously, not only has this expectation without terror, speaks of it without perturbation, and goes, of his own accord, to the place where it is to occur, Without any effort to avoid or prevent it, but evidently contemplates that ignominious death as the sure means of his own wonderful exalta tion, and of the fulfillment of his great plans and hopes. The marvel of Jesus' behavior is not diminished when we take into account the popularity which he has ao quired. In the context we have a vivid exhibition of this. The people who were gathered from all parts of the land to attend the national festival in Jerusalem, having heard that J esus was coming, went forth to meet him, waving the branches of palm-trees, casting them down in the path along which he rode, and hail ing him with such shouts as pe0ple'only utter in honor of their highest rulers or greatest deliverers. Not the most popular of statesmen, or the most illustrious of generals not Washington, not Napoleon, not David -was ever greeted with popular acclamations more enthusiastic or more expressive of popular confidence. What effect would such demonstrations have had upon the mind of the rustic Galilean if he had been only what he seemed to be, or only what he was understood to be by the people, or even by the most affectionate of his disciples?
