To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Would He use His miraculous powers on His own account, for His own selfish ends or for the good of all mankind ? " If Thou be the Son of God, command I THE GOSPEL OF THE POOR. I05 that these stones be made bread. " In other words, Thou art hungry, therefore use Thy divine power over material phenomena to fill Thine own empty stomach. Do not work beneficent miracles of healing, whispered the tempter. Work useless prodigies that will dazzle the multitude. Leap scatheless from a pinnacle of the Te...mple in the sight of all the people, and they will make of Thee a King. " All this power and glory will I give Thee if Thou wilt fall down and worship me ; " that is to say, if thou wilt cast aside this foolish im- practicable ideal of a Kingdom of God on earth, and substitute selfishness for love of God and man. The '• Kingdom " for which nearly all Christ's con- temporaries looked was precisely similar to that which floated before the Messiah's ej-es in the great Tempta- tion in the wilderness.
