Excerpt from The Coming of the Son of Man: A Discourse Preached in the First Congregational Unitarian Church, Philadelphia, on the Morning of the Lord's Day, May 24, 1829
Again, the whole spirit of our Lord's religion and character forbids us to interpret his lan guage as referring to any visible appearance of himself in heavenly glory. He came not to daz zle the sight, but to bless the mind, to purify the spiritual principle from all the illusions of the senses. He aspired to the glory not of natural, but of moral power. He was himself too spi ritual to be attracted by the prospect of a person al display, even though it should be extraordi nary and unearthly. His glory, like the true glory of God, was inward and invisible. It did not address the eye, but the mind, the heart. When, therefore, we hear Jesus Christ speaking of power and glory, we must interpret his lan guage according to the elevated ideas of power and glory which he has given us reason to be lieve be cherished.
