The Doctor: the Non-Existance of Exhaustiveness

A friend of mine who used to attend here regularly and who has now gone to glory – a very good man – once said to me, rather jocularly but very kindly – “You know, I sometimes think that the Apostle Paul must be amazed when he sees what you get out of his epistles!”  Poor man!  By now my friend has discovered that the Apostle Paul is amazed how little that most people, and I with them, get out of his great epistles.  – D. Martyn Lloyd Jones, Romans Vol. 1, p. 227

For reference as to how much The Doctor got out of Paul’s epistles this comes from a Sermon on Romans 9:10-11, his seventeenth sermon out of Romans at that point.
