      Nature is a mirror of which God is seen, and all the processes of nature are samples of God’s works in us.  Such analogies we ought to expect, because all the forces in nature are the projections of God’s thoughts and purposes.  The same God who works so mightily in the material world works with mighty grace in us.  If, in the visible creation, he gives life to dead matter, so does he likewise give life to dead souls. 

      The sun which rides in royal majesty across the heavens is a picture of the great Sun of Righteousness, who arises on the soul “with healing in his beams.”  As the coming of spring makes a new epoch in the material world, so the coming of Immanuel is the opening of a new era to the soul.  It is nothing short of a spiritual evolution.  We pass out of winter into spring; out of death into life.
