The Heavenly Vision

LET us not quarrel with the visions of religion. Whether science or religion be the channel, whether the intellect or the heart be the instrument, God is the author of the vision. One vision is earthly, another heavenly, but both are from God. Visionary men are about the most important men in the world, provided they are not merely visionary. They are the men who amount to something. They are landmarks in the path of history, showing the progress of the race. The thing to do with the heavenly vision is to obey it. “I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision.” Paul followed the vision and it led him to the skies. No grander life was ever lived save one, and it began in a vision. Judas also had a vision of Christ, but he disobeyed, and will forever remain a monument of the folly of disobedience to a heavenly vision.—Christian Advocate.
