Men Need Instruction
2 Timothy 2:7
Consider what I say; and the Lord give you understanding in all things.


A man's understanding is very much like a window. The sun-light is all of one colour; but all the light that goes through the window is not. Sometimes the audience have a scarf of yellow running over them, sometimes one of blue, and sometimes one of red, according as the window is painted. Man's reason being like a painted window, the light that goes through it and falls upon his conscience is bizarre, grotesque, wrinkled, bent, or distorted. I have known men whose understanding had in it hideous saints, crowned monsters, apocalyptic visions, and what not — things that took the colours which were painted on the window of that reason. It is very important, therefore, that men should be instructed.

(H. W. Beecher.)
