Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Words of the Lord Jesus, Vol. 2 Thus the Lord is here speaking to His Apostles great words, far-reaching in their meaning; and He speaks them prophetically, even as His Spirit had formerly spoken in the prophets. The progress of His internal contemplation assumes here as every where the form of a perspective view. The present and the immediate are to Him the type of the more remote. In sending forth these, He contemplates all later missions of these Apostles and their successors. The words which He now speaks to the Twelve in such a manner that their literal meaning can only apply to their present object, contain, in their spiritual meaning, truths applicable to their whole future apostolical course. But from this typical starting-point the thoughts and their expression rise more loftily and more freely into words, which they scarcely understand at the time, much less use and follow out, but which must at least have awakened within them the conscious expecta tion of extended developments to Spring from them, and which are given to them now in order that the Spirit in His time may recall and interpret them to their minds.
