Old Paths In Portrait

About Ephesians 3:18, 19

“Angels and saints before the throne never can enter fully into the love of Christ towards His church and people. The subject is infinite, and their minds are finite. As finite cannot comprehend that which is infinite, so the saints can never, to the ages of eternity, full understand the fullness of Christ’s love. Why then is this request made? I reply, because this is the very nature of true grace, to be reaching out after the knowledge of God in Christ which can never be attained-no, not in heaven. Paul prays for what those saints have not attained. Yet he prays for what might, even in this life, be attained: that is, in a greater measure and degree. We see from thence that both in prayer and preaching it must be so-it ought to be so-that some subjects must be prayed for, and preached, too, which are beyond our present attainments, (and it may be will exceed our knowledge) and enjoyment in this life. Indeed it is in this way that much f our spiritually is discovered. Hereby our real aspirations heavenward are made manifest-to have higher views of the love of Christ than we have ever had yet. Here a little and there a little He lets down some bright beams of light from His glorious person on our minds, so that in His light we see light.”

-S. E. Pierce  English Minister  1746-1829

“Friday night Oct. 12-I see there are some things quite contrary to the soundness and perfection of Christianity, in which almost all good men do allow themselves, and where innate corruption has an unrestrained secret vent, which they never take notice of, or think to be no hurt, or which they never take notice of, or think, to be no hurt, or cloak under the name of virtue; which things exceedingly darken the brightness, and hide the loveliness, of Christianity. Who can understand his errors? O that I might be kept from secret faults!”

-Jonathan Edwards  American Pastor, Theologian  1703-1758
