Teacher of Truth the Only Safe Educator

the flesh, God in Christ, and divinity in humanity. Christ bowed down
in unparalleled humility, that in his exaltation to the throne of God, he
might also exalt those who believe in him, to a seat with him upon his
throne. All who look upon Jesus in faith that the wounds and bruises
that sin has made will be healed in him, shall be made whole.
The themes of redemption are momentous themes, and only those
who are spiritually minded can discern their depth and significance.
It is our safety, our life, our joy, to dwell upon the truths of the plan
of salvation. Faith and prayer are necessary in order that we may
behold the deep things of God. Our minds are so bound about with
narrow ideas, that we catch but limited views of the experience it is
our privilege to have. How little do we comprehend what is meant
by the prayer of the apostle, when he says, “That he would grant you,
according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might
by his spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts
[78]
by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to
comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth,
and height, and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto him
that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the
church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.”
