| Summary |
"Unspoken Sermons, Series I, II, and III." by George MacDonald is a collection of theological essays written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into profound spiritual concepts, such as the nature of God, the essence of faith, and the significance of humility, emphasizing the intrinsic value of childlikeness in understanding divine truths. At the start of the book, MacDonald presents a meditation on the biblical passage where Jesus places a child among his disciples to illustrate the importance of humility and service in the kingdom of God. He reflects on the characteristics of true childhood—innocence, simplicity, and a lack of worldly wisdom—and posits that these qualities make one open to the divine. Through this lens, MacDonald explores themes of forgiveness, love, and the transformative power of recognizing God in the everyday experiences of humanity. This opening portion sets the tone for the rest of the sermons, which aim to uncover deeper insights into spiritual living and the nature of God's relationship with his creation.
