Or Lord said to Pilate, “Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?” (John 18:34). Is your knowledge of Jesus Christ second-hand or is it your own? It was said of Thomas Chalmers that he had “an original experience of Jesus Christ.” It is original or nothing. The people of Sychar said to the Samaritan woman, “Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world” (John 4:42).

King Darius leaned over the lion’s den and asked Daniel, “…is thy God…able to deliver thee…?” (Daniel 6:20). An uneasy world wonders today whether the Christians’ God can save us in the hour of trial. Blessed is that man who, though sore beset, can answer, “Yes, He is able to keep what I have committed; able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think; able to make all grace abound; able to succour the tempted; able to save to the uttermost; able to keep us from falling; able to subdue all things unto himself.” And, above Darius, stands our Lord asking, “Believe ye that I am able to do this?” If we can reply, “Yea, Lord,” He will answer, “According to your faith be it unto you.”
