Expository Lectures on the Epistle to the Ephesians (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Expository Lectures on the Epistle to the Ephesians

It is true, that in the lofty heights and wondrous depths of the eternal Word, as in the mighty altitudes and profundities of nature, we find that we have neither instruments adequate to measure the height, nor lines to fathom the depth and so far we must in many things await in humility and patience, the full development of those truths which we have not the means or power to comprehend - but we can advance so far in the knowl edge of the system of eternal truth, that we can be sure and confident as of our existence, of the certainty of the truth we have attained; and we do not fear, in its clear and practical application, to maintain it against the sophistries of those errors that are inconsistent with, or oppose it.

We can tell the right ascension or declination of a star, though we can not measure the angle of its orb, or calculate its distance from our sphere. We can steer with firm hearts and joyful hope, under the blessing of God, over the bosom of the deep, though we cannot fathom the depths of the abyss beneath us.
