9. One He is, everywhere present, beholding
all things, perceiving all things, creating all things through
Christ: For all things were made by Him, and without Him was
not anything made John i. 3.. A fountain of
every good, abundant and unfailing, a river of blessings, an eternal
light of never-failing splendour, an insuperable power condescending to
our infirmities: whose very Name we dare not hear The sacred name
(הוהי) was not
pronounced, but Adonai was substituted.. Wilt thou find a footstep of the
Lord? saith Job, or hast thou attained unto the least things
which the Almighty hath made Job xi. 7
(R.V.): Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou
find out the Almighty unto perfection? Cyril seems to have
understood τὰ
ἔσχατα as “the
least,” not as “the utmost.”? If the
least of His works are incomprehensible, shall He be
comprehended who made them
all? Eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for
them that love Him 1 Cor. ii. 9.. If the things
which God hath prepared are incomprehensible to our thoughts, how can
we comprehend with our mind Himself who hath prepared them? O
the depth of the riches, and wisdom, and knowledge of God! How
unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding
out Rom. xi. 33.! saith the Apostle. If His judgments
and His ways are incomprehensible, can He Himself be
comprehended?
