• Tell Me What You Think!

            "The saints, in leaving the world, and ascending to heaven, do not go out of sight of things appertaining to Christ's kingdom on earth; but, on the contrary, they go out of a state of obscurity, and ascend above the mists and clouds into the clearest light:  to a pinnacle in the very center of light, where everything appears in clear view.  They have as much greater advantage to view the state of Christ's kingdom, and the works of the new creation here, than while they were in this world, as a man that ascends to the top of a high mountain has a greater advantage to view the face of the earth, than he had while he was in a deep valley, or thick forest below, surrounded on every side with those things that impeded and limited his sight.  Nor do they view as indifferent or unconcerned spectators, any more than Christ Himself is an unconcerned spectator."  --Jonathan Edwards

  Please read this quote very carefully, think about it, and tell me what you think about either by commenting here on Xanga, e-mailing me here on Xanga, or e-mailing me at joshua.stormont@gmail.com.  I would like to know what people thought about this quote above by Jonathan Edwards.  Enjoy!
