Excerpt from Glimpses of the Truth as It Is in JesusThe light to shine out of darkness, hath not shined in his heart to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Oh what is the real value of all his boasted knowledge apart from this? What though the philosopher has ransacked all the mysteries of nature, if he is yet ignorant of the God of nature, as revealed through Christ? That though the astronomer revels amidst the glories of the material heavens, if he is experimentally unacquainted with the path by which he may arrive at the glories of the heaven of heavens? What though the geometrician may be able to measure all quantity, if he has not bestowed a serious thought upon the measureless eternity upon which he is soon to enter? And what though the physician, skilled in the science of healing, is able to battle every form of bodily disease, if he has no knowledge, in the cure of his own moral distemper, of the balm that is in Gilead, and of the Physician who is there? We ask, what real good, as it regards themselves, does it avail? None whatever. See the vanity of all human knowledge, weighed with the momentous interests of an eternal world, save that which makes us wise unto salvation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
