Translation of Wesley into 21st Century America English.

Sometimes I think just because a quotation of a book is written in Old King Janes English we think it doesn’t need to be translated. It’s English after all. But it does, the language sometimes of British England of old is substantially different from modern American English. And translation is helpful. Here is a beautiful quote from John Wesley that I hope to translate for modern American ears.

Glory thine attributes confess glorious all and numberless!” – John Wesley (in 18th century British English)

So here is my attempt at a translation of this amazing quote into 21st century American English:

“Every detail about Jesus Christ shows how massive, how amazing, how wonderful, and how perfectly Holy he is. And there are an infinite number of characteristics of him to know. …Let us spend our days seeking to know every glorious detail of Him, more and more and more.”

The Omnipotence of Jesus Christ

The Omnipotence of Jesus Christ

Jesus is the most fascinating person to ever walk the planet. His omnipotence, his omnipresence and his omniscience all point (among many other things) to his divinity. Over two thousand years after his coming and countless millions would still die for him today.

“If ever a man was God, or God was man, Jesus Christ was both.” – Lord Byron the poet.

  1. Jesus Christ is all-powerful, His Omnipotence is sure. Jesus said “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” he also exhibited this power over nature (Matthew 8:27), over demons (Luke 4:36), over angels (Matthew 26:53), over disease (Luke 4:40), and over death (Mark 5:41-42).
  2. He is present everywhere, He Omnipresence is something to trust. Jesus said “Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the age“.
  3. Jesus Christ is All Knowing, He Omniscience teaches us all. “Come see a man who told me all the things I have done” – John 4:29, “Now we know that you know all things, and have no need for anyone to question you; by this we believe that you came from God.” – John 16:30, “In whom (Jesus Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” Colossians 2:3.

“You go through that Gospel of John. He is centering everything in Himself. “I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life, I am the Shepherd, I am the Vine, I am the Resurrection.” It is a Person. It is that which lies behind everything. Christianity is Christ. Christ is Christianity. That is where it all begins and it never departs from HIM. The development of the Christian life is only the development of Jesus Christ in the life.”  ― T. Austin-Sparks
