Paul, But we aH with open face beholding as in a minor the glory of the Lord are transformed into the same image from glory to glory. Paul The light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, - aZ. Since mine eyes were fixed on Jesus, Ive lost sight of all beside, So enchained my spirits vision, looking at the Crucified. - From Winnowed Hymns. A BIT AHEAD So far as I can find out, I have no theory about Jesus to make these talks fit into. I have tried to find out for myself what the old Book of God tells about Him. And here I am trying to tell to others, as simply as I can, what I found. It was by the tedious, twisting path of doubt that I climbed the hill of truth up to some of its summits of certainty. I am free to confess that I am ignorant of the subject treated here save for the statements of that Book, and for the assent within my own spirit to these statements, which has greatly deepened the impression they made, and make. There is no question raised here about that Book itself, but simply a taking and grouping up together of what it says. Most persons simply read a book. A few study it, also. It is good to read. It is yet better to go back over it and study, and meditate. Since learning that the two books on power and prayer have been used in Bible classes I have regretted not including study notes in them.

A great musician strikes the key-note of a great piece of music, and can skilfully keep it ever sounding its melody through all the changes clear to the end. It has been in my heart to wish that I could do something like that here. If what has come to me has gotten out of me into these pages, there will be found a dominant no, te of sweetest music the winsomeness of God in Jesus. It is in my heart, too, to add this, that I have a friend whose constant presence and prayer have been the atmosphere of this little book in its making. I. THE PURPOSE OF JESUS 1. THE PURPOSE IN JESUS COMING. 2. THE PLAN FOR JESUS COMING, 3. THE TRAGIC BREAK IN THE PLAN. 4. SOME SURPRISING RESULTS OP THE BREAK. The Purpose in Jesus Coming GodSpelling Himself out in Jesus. Jesus is God spelling Himself out in language that man can understand. God and man used to talk together freely. But one day man went away from God. And then he went farther away. He left home. He left his native land, Eden, where he lived with God. He emigrated from God. And through going away he lost his mother-tongue. A language always changes away from its na tive land. Through going away from his na tive land man lost his native speech...
