To rightly understand Christ is to see that He relates to a heavenly and eternal order of things. That word 'order' lies right back of everything in the Bible, which means, in the history. Everything that the Bible has to say to us is related to an eternal order that God intended to obtain in this universe. And His key to that order, without which nothing of all His glorious purpose is possible, His key to that heavenly and eternal order is Christ. The Person of Christ is the very embodiment of all the principles of a universal order. If we could comprehend Christ, if we could discern Christ, if we could understand Christ, if we could know Christ, we should see that in that one universal Person are gathered up all the laws of a great heavenly order.
