Acts
The Swells of Sovereign Power
V. The Son
“The Christian life is Christ.
This is a truth which deeply reassures our souls, focuses our hearts, and simplifies our spiritual lives.
But it is a principle that we perpetually fumble.
The veil removed from our eyes in conversion—gives way to clouds over our eyes in trials, and sleepiness in our steps with the spiritual disciplines.
The greatest challenges we face, are Christ-clouding distractions.”
