Mine Eyes

Mine eyes have seen THY salvation. Luke ii.30

In the love of Christ His followers have ever found great joy. It is their light, the daystar dawning in their hearts, the renewing of their inward man, their joy of faith, the believing that makes them rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Bushnell.

Horcace Bushnell, Congregational clergyman and theologian. April 14, 1802- February 17, 1876.
It was said of him by Dr.Munger, He was a theologian as Copernicus was an astronomer; he changed the point of view, and thus not only changed everything, but pointed the way toward unity in theological thought.
He argued in Christ in Theology(1851), that spiritual truth can be expressed only in approximate and poetical language, and concluded that an adequate dogmatic theology cannot exist.
He would be ran out on a rail today as well.

What have you seen that has been so overwhelming as to change your point of view in entirety? Paul along the Damascus Road, the walkers on the Emmaus Road, Mary peering in the tomb. Sudden and life turning. We the rational shun visions and dreams. We read the black but never the white between the words, the shapes the white forms.
Take a moment from your mundane and ordered life and pray to be granted a glimpse into something that shall overwhelm and change your course.
