If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Shall be burned = katakaiō =

Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?
