Looking beyond the ken of finite, erring vision, the Master says: "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the Truth. Thy word is Truth. . . . And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in Truth."
All my earth-life I have read, and heard read or repeated, the words of the Psalmist: "The entrance of Thy word giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple." All the years of my Christian faith have been fraught with a desire to understand the mystery of Life, and salvation by faith, to understand the experience of that man who gives testimony to the illumination of Truth beyond the range of all finite apprehension,—while uttering words of Truth, which he declares to be only the windfalls from that Tree of Life of which all may eat, and so be filled with the fruit of that understanding which is wisdom.
As a humble servant of Christ I have read many times the words of the Master quoted above; but I too well knew my own heart to claim them, and felt that until I could apprehend the atonement, I was not sanctified in Truth.
