“ Call Satan, Lucifer, as appropriately as Bread of Life, Good Shepherd, or any other title owned by our Lord Jesus in virtue of what he is to the starving, wandering sinner whom he invites to come to him. To everyone who, following Christ, "walks not in darkness but hath the light of life," he is "the day-star (φωσφόρος) who arises in their hearts" (2 Peter i., 19) . ”

“ Scarcely were his eyes closed upon this world, when he must open them in another world, and be a witness of his own interment in the depths of the tomb. All the kings of the nations are come to meet him. ”

“ A king dies. The nation asks if it be really true. They were so accustomed to see him live as if he were never to die, that they had almost come to believe that he never could die. But he is really dead. They raise their heads. ”
