"And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? (11) And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee."
What an astonishing effect was wrought on the city at this approach of Jesus, Though the Lord had been so long going in and out among them, yet so astonished were they at this entrance of our God and Savior, that all men marvelled. Reader! have you never seen (I have) somewhat of the same kind in the present day, among the carnal and Christless, musing in their hearts when at any time hearing of Jesus! See a striking instance, John 7:40 to the end. I pray the Reader to remark, with me, the unconscious evidence the multitude gave to the real person of Christ, the only true. Nazarite of God, If my Reader hath near him my little penny publication of the "Poor Man's Concordance, " I would beg him to turn to the article Nazarene, for an explanation of the important name of Christ, as the only true Nazarite. He will discover that the name is of an infinitely higher import than perhaps he at first might suppose.
