Key passages
“There was in these miracles, and I think in all, only a hastening of appearances; the doing of that in a day, which may ordinarily take a thousand years, for with God time is not what it is with us.”
Miracles are simply God doing in a moment what usually takes ages, because time is not a constraint for Him.
Reflection on the nature of miracles as accelerated natural processes.
“Nothing saves a man more than the burning of his work, except the doing of work that can stand the fire.”
A person is saved more by having their flawed work destroyed than by anything else, unless they produce work that endures testing.
Comment on purification and the value of enduring work.
