Only let us take care that the fire does not burn it up, as 'wood, hay, stubble, but irradiates it and glorifies it, as 'gold, silver, and precious stones. III.

Jesus Christ is so different when the Spirit glorifies Him by taking of His things and showing them unto us. III. The Holy Spirit reveals to us the deep things of God which are hidden from and are foolishness to the natural man. We read in 1 Cor. ii. 9-13, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.
