“Love is a gracious host to his guests though to the unbidden his house is a mirage and a mockery.”

John At Patmos: Jesus The Gracious
Jesus, The Son of Man (1928)
Context: Love is a gracious host to his guests though to the unbidden his house is a mirage and a mockery.
Now you would have me explain the miracles of Jesus.
We are all the miraculous gesture of the moment; our Lord and Master was the centre of that moment.
Yet it was not in His desire that His gestures be known.
