HORIZON

HORIZONED BY RESURRCTION

“And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:” Rom. 1:4

Grk. “horizo . . . huios . theos . dunamis kata . . pneuma . hagiosune . . anastasis . . nekros.”

Evidence of a debt paid completely. See 1 John 1:7 all sin-no more to be dealt with-done away. Take the Greek word for "declared" and Anglicize it. What is this word “declared,” “distinguished,” “marked out?” It is the word from which we have derived our word horizon. What is the horizon? The boundary. What is a boundary? The end? By no means. It is the beginning. If only I could transport you to the sea, you would understand my text. Standing on the land’s last limit there stretches the sea with its movement and its rhythm, its music and its laughter. What beyond? The horizon, the boundary. Is that the end? That is the beginning. Everything between me and the horizon I can comprehend. The mystery begins where the horizon bounds my vision. It is limitation. The limitation is only the limitation of my vision, not of the essential fact. Jesus did not become but was found to be the Son of God by the resurrection. Our sight ends, our faith begins and He is the One Who must teach us…John 13:13.
