Innocent Ignorance<\/b><\/p>\n
We begin by trusting or ignorance and calling it innocence, by trusting our innocence and calling it purity. And when we hear these rugged statements of our Lord\u2019s (Matthew 15:18), we shrink and say: \u201cBut I never felt any of those awful things in my heart.\u201d Either Jesus Christ is the supreme authority on the human heart or He is not worth paying attention to. Am I prepared to trust His judgment or do I prefer to trust my innocent ignorance? As long as I remain under the refuge of innocence, I am living in a fool\u2019s paradise. The only thing that safeguards is the redemption found in Jesus Christ. Purity is too deep down for me to get to naturally; but when the Holy Spirit comes in, He brings into the center of my life the very Spirit that was manifested in the life of Jesus Christ\u2014the Holy Spirit, who is unsullied purity.\u201d – Oswald Chambers<\/p>\n
