Lord of Glory - 1910
Arno Clemens Gaebelein, author of Lord of Glory.
Introduction
Arno Clemens Gaebelein was a Methodist minister in the United States. He was a prominent teacher and conference speaker and the editor of Our Hope periodical. For years each issue of the magazine carried a short meditations on the person and glory of Christ. Gaebelein felt Christ was worthy of all glory, needed by God’s people, and increasingly denied—even by the church. He collected his meditations as a book, Lord of Glory. Here is an excerpt from its preface, dated this day, 1 October 1910.
Quote
“All these brief articles were written with much prayer and often under deep soul exercise. It has pleased the Holy Spirit to own them in a most blessed way. Hundreds of letters were received telling of the great blessing these meditations have been and what refreshing they brought to the hearts of His people. Weary and tired ones were cheered, wandering ones restored and erring ones set right. Many wrote us or told us personally that the Lord Jesus Christ has become a greater reality and power in their lives after following this monthly testimony.
“Suggestions were made to issue some of these notes in book form so that these blessed truths may be preserved in a more permanent form. We have done so and send this volume forth with the prayer that the Holy Spirit, who is here to glorify Christ, may use it to the praise and glory of His worthy Name. We are confident that such will be the case.”
