WE will never be able to comprehend or understand God’s Word; for as God is infinite, so also His Word is infinite. Every moral truth taught by that Word finds its root in the Infinite Mind. It may present itself in an aspect of exceeding smallness, but if it be God’s Word or truth, it is like many mines of untold wealth which have been revealed, perhaps, by a little piece of quartz or spar. The miners could understand the little piece, and by it could apprehend the fact that more lay underneath. It is just so with the seeker after truth. He may comprehend the little which he sees in a certain way, but by faith he may apprehend the great fact that the little truth which he knows is but the surface of a great mine of truth, the breadth and depth of which are infinite, and the end of which is eternity. Let us therefore comprehend, or understand, all the truth we are able, but let us also by living faith apprehend, or lay hold of, the whole truth as it is in Christ Jesus; for if that truth be ours, infinity, eternity is also ours.
