About this listen

 WE are often called a visionary people. We are not ashamed to accept the impeachment. The Bible is a book of visions and its noblest characters were all a visionary people. Abraham’s life was all inspired by the visions Jehovah gave him of the land of his inheritance and the seed of promise as countless as the stars of heaven and the sand on the seashore. Joseph’s life began with his early dreams of faith and hope, and but for these he would have often sunk in the dark hour of his unspeakable sorrow. Moses’ ministry began in the vision of the burning bush, and the last act of his life was to look out over the land of promise and see afar the destinies and glories of the nation he had loved and led. David never could have endured the trials and perils of Saul's bitter persecutions had he not known in advance that he was God's anointed king, and seeing afar off the vision of his own throne and the glory of the greater King and the Millennial Age of which he and his kingdom were the foreshadowings. Isaiah began his ministry with the vision of the Divine glory, and consummated it with the sublimest series of prophetic visions within the Holy Scriptures. Ezekiel was a glorious visionary; and Daniel gazed through the mighty telescope of Divine revelation until his vision swept down to the very end of the age and took in the first and second coming of the Son of God and all the history of time. Yes, even our blessed Master Himself was oft sustained by the vision of faith and hope. It was “for the joy set before Him'' that “He endured the cross despising the shame," and is now set down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Paul had an infinite capacity for Divine inspiration and holy elevations. It was in a vision that he beheld the Son of God as his suffering and wronged Redeemer, and sank at His feet exclaiming, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” It was a vision of Jesus that brought him sanctification as he cried, “Thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.” Again and again was the vision of the Master’s presence renewed; sometimes in the prison at Jerusalem; again in the crisis of his work in Corinth, or again in the rocking vessel in the Euroclydon storm until his fears were charmed away, and he dared to do and suffer anything for Jesus. And the last of the apostles closes the scroll of Revelation with the sublimest vision of all its pages, that wondrous Apocalypse, which changed for him the stone quarry of Patmos into the vestibule of heaven and for us the ages as they pass into a Divine panorama of faith and hope and holy promise. It is strange, therefore, that a Christianity founded upon this glorious chain of heavenly visions and still having as its Divine centre the living Holy Ghost from whom these visions came, should have infinite room in the spiritual life of its followers for the highest aspirations and the Divinest inspirations.
