The Sacrifice of Life Slain by the Twenty-nine Instruments of Death Being the Substance of a Sermon Preached on Sunday Morning, Nov. 28, 1813 at the Obelisk Chapel

This recording presents a sermon delivered on a winter Sunday in 1813, offering a vivid meditation on the Christian concept of sacrifice. Drawing on the language of the Old Testament temple and its instruments, the speaker portrays Christ as the ultimate Passover lamb whose death fulfills ancient rites. The orator weaves scriptural references, from Ezra to the Psalms, into a tapestry that highlights the continuity between Jewish worship and New Testament salvation.

The preacher’s style is both scholarly and poetic, inviting listeners to see the divine in everyday objects—knives, altar vessels, even the rustle of a robe. By tracing these symbols, the sermon encourages a deeper appreciation of how early 19th‑century believers understood the Gospel’s fulfillment. Whether you are new to theological reflection or enjoy historic religious discourse, this talk offers a thoughtful entry point into the rich symbolism of Christian faith.
