The Silver Lining: Messages of Hope and Cheer

by John Henry Jowett, Matt Jury (Editor)

This is formatted for e-book reading, not just an OCR scan.

This, surely, is a word full of heartening and inspiration. We are never alone. Our Saviour understands us, sympathizes with us, co-operates with us. He is with us under the fig-tree! And see how rich and wealthy is the promise. "Here-after ye shall see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." How glorious and fitting is the issue! Nathaniel is to see heaven opened! The man who has been in the gloom of the fig-tree, with fitful and uncertain glimpses through the broken clouds, is to attain to firm, clear, and permanent vision. And the man who is so frequently timid, and wonders at the controlling power of life and the world, is to have his confidence steadied and stayed, and is to be made sure of the sovereignty of Christ.
