Sin’s Pollution and Human Blindness

The fearful peril of man is in his blindness to sin's dreadful pollution. He compares man with man, and so does not see the truth. If he compares man with God, he makes a god of his own, according to his own standard, and that is only comparing man with man. When the soul sees the reality of its defilement, it feels that humility before God is its only possible position. When a soul comes to Jesus in this frame it honors him; it puts itself in relation with his own mind and mission; it makes up the needed complement of Jesus's work by accepting it.—Half Hours.

ALL I know is that I know nothing.—Socrates.
