"I have seen, I have heard, I have felt." (AC 68)
by Rev. Derek P. Elphick
Type of Event: Worship Service: Sermon only
Date Recorded: 18 Jun, 2023
Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Topics: New Church Day
On the day before our celebration of New Church Day, we will take a moment to marvel at the nature of the Lord’s new revelation, given through His servant, Emanuel Swedenborg. The Lord could have simply dictated to Swedenborg all the necessary facts and information of this new revelation but instead Swedenborg spent decades living and breathing the sights and sounds and smells of the spiritual realm. Why was this necessary? Do we need a similar “immersion” in spiritual delights in order to properly discern between good and evil?
