Sermons (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sermons

First, we have the inexhaustible encouragement that springs from the fact that One who was in all points tempted as we are has not been defeated, but has passed scatheless through all that human life could do to overwhelm Him. There is a way through life to blessedness. It may not be a way easy to find or easy to follow, but there is One who has found it and seeks to guide us to the perfect freedom in which He now lives. He is the strong swimmer who has not only found standing for Himself on the eternal shore, but has also carried a line by which we, too, may escape. He has trodden down for us the drifted snow, so that we can follow Him. Universal defeat has not been, after all, the lot of humanity - sin and death are not the sole experience of those who have passed through life; there is one who has turned all its obstacles into stepping-stones, its hazards into victories, its anxiety and bitterness and gloom into the glory and brightness of eternity. He has shown us the uses and meaning and results of life, so that we may have hope. In the strength of Him who has gone before us we can follow.

Christ leads us through no darker rooms Than He went through before.

There is a way through and out of the darkest human experience into everlasting light and joy; there is with every temptation a way of escape.
