Explore "Cholera, 1866" by Charles Kingsley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. - LUKE vii. 16.
YOU recollect to what the text refers? How the Lord visited His people? By raising to life a widow's son at Nain. That was the result of our Lord's visit to the little town of Nain. It is worth our while to think of that text, and of that word, ‘visit,' just now. For we are praying to God to remove the cholera from this land. We are calling it a visitation of God; and saying that God is visiting our sins on us thereby. And we are saying the exact truth. We are using the right and scriptural word.
