Certain people, when they visit such a place, buy a catalogue from the guide at the door, and then holding it in their hands walk round the gallery. They notice that Item number 1 is a painting by Van Dyck, let us say; and they say “Ah, that is a Van Dyck.” Then they pass on hurriedly to Item number 2, which is perhaps a portrait by Rembrandt. “Ah,” they say, “that’s a Rembrandt, a famous picture.” Then they move on to further Items in the same way. I grant that that is a possible way of viewing the treasures of an art gallery; and yet I have a feeling that when such a person has gone through every room of the gallery and has said, “Well, we have ‘done’ the National Gallery, let us now go to the Tate Gallery,” the truth is that they have never really seen either of the galleries or their treasures. It is the same in regard to the Scriptures. There are people who walk through this first chapter of this Epistle to the Ephesians in some such manner as I have described, and they feel that they have “done” it. It is surely better to stand, if necessary, for hours before this chapter which has been given to us by God Himself through His Spirit, and to gaze upon it, and to try to discover its riches both in general and in detail.&lt;br /&gt;

It is about some people seeking God and not finding him, while others do not seek him but are found by him. If it was about people seeking God and finding him, the new creation would be a ‘prig-sty’ full of stuck-up prigs boasting about how sensible they were to seek him, and how clever to have searched so effectively. Instead it will be full of people with looks of amazement on their faces, astonished at the kindness of the Christ who first found them.&lt;br /&gt;

  107. And, brethren, if anything should make us come out boldly in our worship of God, it is the publicity of the sin of the ungodly; if anything should make us band together, it is the presence of sin in so many of our fellow creatures; if anything should make us pray, it is the prevalence of iniquity all around us; if anything should make us feel that we who love the Lord must unite to serve Him, and throw our whole heart and soul into united prayer to the Most High, and united adoration of God over all, blessed for evermore, it is when we hear the blasphemies of men, and see their rebellion against the Lord.&lt;/div&gt;
