“These eyes, tho' clear To outward view of blemish or of spot, Bereft of light, their seeing have forgot, Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear Of sun, or moon, or star, throughout the year, Or man, or woman. Yet I argue not Against Heaven's hand or will, not bate a jot Of heart or hope; but still bear up and steer Right onward.” MenYearsHeartStillsHandsLightEyeHeavenStarsViewsSunClearSeeingBearsMoonSightArguingSpotsIdleBlindnessSteersBereftOrbsThese Eyes Book:I.

“He in whose heart the law was, and who alone of all mankind was content to do it, His sacrifice alone can be the sacrifice all-sufficient in the Father's sight as the proper sacrifice of humanity; He who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, He alone can give the Spirit which enables us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. He is the only High-Priest of the universe.” GivingHeartBodyLawSpiritHumanityUniverseFatherSacrificeMankindHolyEternalSightSpotsSufficientPriestsAcceptable Book:Sermons Preached at Brighton Source: Sermons Preached at Brighton
