"There was room enough always for Herod and his concubines, for the wisdom of the flesh set great store by them; but a poor man and woman were thrust out to a stable; and there was a poor baby born whom the wisdom of the flesh knew not, because the wisdom of the flesh is enmity against God. "The wisdom of the flesh, brethren, ever despiseth the wisdom of God, because it knoweth it not.
Every life under heaven is in his hand; yea, the fallen angels tremble before him. Coming sinner, the Jesus to whom thou art coming is lowly in heart, he despiseth not any.
But all things are kept uncertain for the time to come, because all things equally happen to the just and to the wicked, to the good and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him that offereth victims, and to him that despiseth sacrifices. As the good is, so also is the sinner; as the perjured, so he also that sweareth truth.”
Therefore it despises all the favor, grace, goods and honor of men, lets them come and go as they please; as is written in Psalm xv: "He contemneth them that contemn God, and honoreth them that fear the Lord"; that is, the tyrants, the mighty, who persecute the truth and despise God, he does not fear, he does not regard them, he despiseth them; on the other hand, those who are persecuted for the truth's sake, and fear God more than men, to these he clings, these he defends, these he honors, let it vex whom it may; as it is written of Moses, Hebrews xi, that he stood by his brethren, regardless of the mighty king of Egypt.
For us who live in the blaze of the ineffable brightness of the revelation, our attitude towards Him who brings it is the test of our 'hallowing of the Name' which He brings. He Himself has varied Malachi's indictment when He said, 'He that despiseth Me despiseth Him that sent Me. Our sin is now to be measured by our under-estimate and neglect of Him, and chiefly of His Cross.
But we hold no opinions in common with Hadgi Ismael Bey, who drinketh water, despiseth the Greek, and hateth the Frank. Our own conjecture is, that King Otho has been studying the history of Theopompus, one of his Spartan predecessors who, like himself, occupied barely half a throne.
If Agamemnon be hateful to thee and if thou despiseth his gifts, think upon thy friends and thy companions and have pity upon them. Even for our sakes, Achilles, arise now and go into battle and stay the onslaught of the terrible Hector." 'Achilles did not answer. His lion's eyes were fixed upon those who had spoken and his look did not change at all for all that was said.
For God hath not called us unto impurity, but unto holiness. Therefore he that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his Holy Spirit. Now concerning brotherly love, I have no need to write unto you: for ye yourselves are divinely taught to love one another.
'It is, of course, on the cards, he noted, 'that Khartoum is taken under the nose of the Expeditionary Force, which will be JUST TOO LATE. The splendid hawks that swooped about the palace reminded him of a text in the Bible: 'The eye that mocketh at his father and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. 'I often wonder, he wrote, 'whether they are destined to pick my eyes, for I fear I was not the best of sons.
He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth Him that sent me.
