The Spirit World
Homilist
Genesis 28:10-15
And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.…


I. THIS VISION SUGGESTS THE IDEA OF A SPIRIT WORLD.

1. We think of a spirit —

(1) As a self-modifying agent or being.

(2) As a religious being.

(3) As a reflecting being.

(4) As a self-conscious being.

(5)  As a self-complete being.

(6)  As a personally responsible being.

2. That a world of such beings exists may be argued from —

(1)  The structure of the visible universe.

(2)  The concurrent impressions of mankind.

(3)  Our own individual consciousness.

(4)  The Word of God.

II. THIS VISION SUGGESTS THAT MAN IS CONNECTED WITH THE SPIRIT WORLD.

1. He is a member of it.

2. He is amenable to its laws.

3. He is now forming a character that will determine his position in it.

III. THIS VISION SUGGESTS THAT THERE IS ONE MASTER.
