Sermon Overview
Reidhead explores the "fragmentary" nature of our present knowledge. He argues that while we see "dimly" now, we have enough light in the Word to obey. He cautions against the pride of "knowing everything" and encourages the believer to rest in the "Character of the One who sees clearly," waiting for the day of full revelation in Glory.
Key Principles
Seeing Dimly: Humble your "intellectual pride"; acknowledge that your current understanding is fragmentary.
Reason’s Limit: Rely on "Faith" when your "Human Reason" hits a wall; trust God's character when you can't see His hand.
Knowing in Part:Use your "limited knowledge" as an invitation to total trust rather than a reason for anxiety.
Face-to-Face Hope:Motivate your current study with the vision of the day you will see the King in full revelation.
Enigma to Face-to-Face:Motivate your current trust by the vision of the coming "Face-to-Face" reality.
Certainty in Uncertainty: Use the "Certainty of the Word" as your anchor when your sight is obscured.
Knowing Fully: Rest in the promise: "Now I know in part; then shall I know fully."
Eternal Perspective:Apply an "Eternal Perspective" to the present mysteries and puzzles of your life.
