Fundamentals of Christian Education
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 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.”—
