These chapters bring into view something which, in its realization, is the solution to all our problems and the deliverance from all our difficulties. In a word, that ‘something’ is spiritual enlargement. Most of our troubles are due to our smallness...
This is a day when all sorts of maladies are troubling the Church and upsetting Christianity. We need not mention them, for we are conscious of them, but they are mainly due to a lack of spiritual greatness, or, to put it again the other way, they are due to pettiness and smallness. The only way out is enlargement, a new horizon, and a new sense of the greatness of that into which we, as Christians, are brought. But unfortunately today, in so many directions, the only bigness amongst Christians is that which is according to the world’s standards of bigness, and not the Lord’s standards.
