Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the World :he that followeth me shall not walk in Darkness, but shall have the Light of Life. JOHN viii. 12. SOMETIMES Jesus gathers His work and nature up in one descriptive word, and offers it, as it were out of a wide-open hand, complete to His disciples. In such a word all the details of His relation to the soul and to the world are comprehensively included. As the disciple listens and receives it, he feels all his fragmentary and scattered experiences drawing together and rounding into unity. A s, having heard it, he carries it forth with him into his life, he finds all future experiences claiming their places within it, and getting their meaning from it. Such words of Jesus are like spheres of crystal into which the world is gathered, and where the ast and future, the small and great, may all be read. It seems to me as if there were days on which we wanted to set one of these comprehensive words of Christ before our eyes and study it.
