Reason's line is too short to fathom the depths of the Father's love, of the blood of the Son, and the promises of the gospel built thereon, wherein forgiveness dwells. Men cannot by their rational consideration launch out into these deeps, nor draw water by them from these 'wells of salvation'. Reason stands amazed, and cries, 'How can these things be?' It can but gather cockleshells... at the shore of this ocean.
