He is going to make us /into creatures //that can obey that command.

I find () I must borrow yet another parable from George MacDonald.  Imagine yourself /as a living house. God comes in /to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand [what He is doin]. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on: you knew that those jobs needed [doing] and so you are not surprised.  But presently he starts [knocking the house about] /in a way //that hurts abominably and does not seem to make sense. What on earth is He up to?  The explanation is that He is building quite a different house /from the one () you thought of—throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards.  You thought () you were going to be made /into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace.  He intends [to come and live in it Himself]. [The command Be ye perfect] is not idealistic gas. Nor is it a command to do the impossible.  He is going to make us /into creatures //that can obey that command.  He said (in the Bible) that we were ‘gods’ and He is going to make good His words.  * 강조상의 도치문  make [good] [His words].  make  [His words] [good] If we let Him—for we can prevent Him, if we choose—He will make [the feeblest and filthiest of us] /into a god or goddess, a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature, pulsating all through with such energy and joy and wisdom and love /as we cannot now imagine, a bright stainless mirror //which reflects back /to God /perfectly (though, of course, on a smaller scale)[His own boundless power and delight and goodness].  The process will be long and in parts very painful, but that is what we are in for. Nothing less. He mea[nt what He said].
