The Authority of Jesus Over Human Nature and History Resembles the Lordship of the Sun Over the Earth
Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you…


The world feels it from centre to circumference; every fruitful field rejoices in it, and this earth would be indeed worthless and dark without it; but we can only make guesses at the riddle of its gravitation and its light; and while any child knows that it is, the wisest can only declare in part, in very little part, how it is.

(Newman Smyth, D. D.)
