A Deep and Unfathomable Mystery
“A
little more of the wonders of love and of union to Jesus breaking
upon my soul, with some insight, in a little measure, into our
separation from the first Adam, and the evils of his fall. Yes, it
seems to me real joy (perhaps more than I should express), that the
creature bank did fail, and the shadow give way to the Substance, the
second Adam, the Lord from heaven, our own dear Treasure, in Whom our
all is stored. But the millions who had all their stock in the
creature-head! Ah, there is mystery deep and unfathomable! But the
Judge of all does right. To His sovereignty I bow, wondering much
that He provided amply for me in Jesus Christ the Righteous. To God
be all the glory! As an instrument of His own forming, may I be tuned
to sound His praise.”
