A shelf in your head?
Spurgeon, "CHRIST - THE POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD"
Before I knew the Gospel I gathered up a heterogeneous
mass of all kinds of knowledge from here, there, and
everywhere; a bit of chemistry, a bit of botany, and a
bit of astronomy, and a bit of this, that, and the other.
I put them altogether, in one great confused chaos.
When I learned the Gospel, I got a 'shelf in my head'
to put
everything away upon just where it should be. It seemed to me
as if, when I had discovered Christ and him crucified, I had got
the center of the system, so that I could see every other science
revolving around in order.
Ah! Christian, you have had many doubts, but you have had
them all unriddled, when you have come to the cross of Christ.
You have had many difficulties; but they have been all explained
in the light of Calvary. You have seen mysteries, when you have
brought them to the face of Christ, made clear and manifest,
which once you never could have known.
