Suppose we take a blind man into a large gallery, filled with fine paintings and beautiful statuary. It is a clear day. The sun is shining through the windows, and there is plenty of light there. But that is no help to our blind friend. We point to one after another of the beautiful paintings before us, and describe them to him. But still he cannot see one of them. And then, suppose that we had the power to open the blind man’s eyes, so that he could see them all for himself; what a wonderful change that would make to him! And this is what the Holy Spirit does for us. The Bible is like a great gallery. It is full of beautiful pictures, such as none but God can make. But our eyes are blinded, and we cannot see them. The Spirit’s work is to open these blind eyes so that we may see. And the great end of all the Spirit’s teaching is to help us to see Jesus, as our Saviour, and the one in whom we must trust for everything necessary to our salvation. Here is an illustration of what I mean. We may call it: “Jesus Only.” A lady had been trying for some time to be a Christian, but she could find no comfort. The minister of the church which she attended called to see her. Finding that though she went regularly to church, and read her Bible at home, and prayed every day, she yet found no peace; he said to her, “My friend, do you expect to be saved because you are doing these things?” “Certainly I do,” was the answer. “Well this is your mistake. You are putting these in the place of Jesus. There is no peace, or comfort, or salvation anywhere but in Jesus only. Now let me give you one verse to think about, and act upon. Jesus said—‘Come unto me—_and I will give you rest_.’ Have you gone to Jesus only for rest and peace and salvation?” She looked amazed. She thought awhile of what had been said to her, and then burst into tears. New light shone in upon her. It was like opening the eyes that had been blind. She saw that it was Jesus, and _Jesus only_, that she needed. She came to him; that is she trusted or believed in him, and here she found rest and peace and salvation. When Jesus was speaking to his disciples about the coming of the Holy Spirit, he said—“he shall _testify to me_.” This was what the Spirit did in the case just mentioned. And this is what he is doing all the time. The end of all his teaching is to show us that “Jesus only” can give rest and peace and salvation to poor lost sinners. _Another part of the Spirit’s work is to—SANCTIFY—or make holy—all the people of Christ._
