all, secondary guarantee? Can
what is written in book settle finally
a fact? IT, this the sort of answer
you give for your scientific conclu-
sions? No, even the Bible does not
make truth. That which il i'm the
Bible is there because it is true, not
because it is there. Jesus was the
Christ before the New Testament was
written, and He makes, clear His
claim independently of it.
Jesus wrought miracles to prove
that he had more than human power
This power was intended to awaken
men to listen to Him and to give
Him a chance to make known
His real mission. But the
authority Of Jesus is spiritual
authority, and must be based on some
thing more than the power that winds
and waves obey.
In conclusion note two cautions.
DO not be misled into confusing
knowledge about Christ with knowl-
edge of Christ. My sheep hear My
voice That il the final test of every
learner Of Jesus. When you know
Him so as to practice His methods and
enter into His secret you will know
His authority. Amid all the distract
| ing clangOr of the world you will hear
! His voice, and that will be your
peace and joy"
