It is an extraordinary thing and characteristic of the Lord Jesus that he
gives us to understand that what he is doing on earth is only a beginning.
Nothing is finished yet. Nothing is so complete, nothing so perfect, that
it is to remain unchanged from what it was in his time. What he has given
us is a root and not yet a tree. The seed still must grow, the branches
spread out; the blossoms will come later. In the end the fruit will
come...
