HOW TO FIND THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS
John 1:43-51
Nathanael heard about Jesus. He might have just stayed where he was, and “listened on.” How many of us just “listen on”! But merely listening about Jesus keeps him waiting. When we start toward him, he sees us coming, and speaks to us just where he finds us. And he never fails to satisfy the heart. Then we know it is really he; for no mere man ever really meets and satisfies us just where we know we are.

SIGNPOSTS NEEDED
John 1:35-42
John was like a signpost pointing to Jesus. A signpost may seem insignificant—just a common bit of wood stuck up. But it’s a great thing; for it shows the right way. We don’t question signposts; we go the way they point. Let’s have the sign of Christ so clear upon our lives that men will go straight to him, with never a doubt as to which is the right way.

SINGING IN A BLIND ALLEY
Acts 16:25-34
When the heart believes, it sings, no matter what contrary signs or circumstances there are. The expectant heart prays and sings. We all pray when we are in a tight place; but do we sing, too? If you really expected the walls of your tight corner to break, wouldn’t you be singing all the day? And when the walls break, look out for those whom you face—they may be needing you to point them to Him who saves.

THE HELPFULNESS OF SNAGS
Acts 16:13-24
Do we sometimes forget that our Lord said that persecutions would come? The evil one resents being interfered with. He puts snags in our way. We may have to suffer for the right. But persecutions, even though they be hard to bear, need never discourage. They tell that our way doesn’t suit Satan. When they come let’s hold steady; when the snags are thickest it is time for the promises to be realized.

LEARNING SPEECH AND SILENCE
Luke 20:39-47
Jesus’ enemies couldn’t answer his words nor withstand his power. With speech, masterly in its simplicity and keenness and rare insight into their motives, and with power, silent, intangible, but utterly resistless, he held off their hands of hate reaching for Jerusalem stones as at the Nazareth precipice, until his chosen hour had come for yielding. And if he may have habitual sway in us, he will teach our lips both speech and silence, and shield our persons.
