Knowledge of God and Self Simultaneous
Job 42:5-6
I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye sees you.…


Other knowledge discovers other things, but not a man's self; like a dark lantern, which shows us other persons and things, but obscures ourselves from the sight of ourselves; but the knowledge of God is such a light whereby a man beholds himself as well as the Way wherein he should walk.

(S. Charnock.)
