Matthew xxv. 31-33. "_When the Son of Man shall come in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then shall He sit on the throne of His glory: and before Him shall be gathered all the nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: and He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left._" XVI CONCERNING THE FUTURE LIFE Matthew vi. 20. "_Where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal._" Mark ix. 48. "_Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched._" * * * * * INTRODUCTORY "O Lord and Master of us all! Whate'er our name or sign, We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call, We test our lives by Thine. We faintly hear, we dimly see, In differing phrase we pray; But, dim or clear, we own in Thee The Light, the Truth, the Way." WHITTIER. * * * * * I INTRODUCTORY "_A prophet mighty in word before God and all the people._"--LUKE xxiv. 19. "_A teacher come from God._"--JOHN iii. 2. In speaking of the teaching of Jesus it is scarcely possible at the present day to avoid at least a reference to two other closely-related topics, viz. the relation of Christ's teaching to the rest of the New Testament, and the trustworthiness of the Gospels in which that teaching is recorded. Adequate discussion of either of these questions here and now is not possible; it must suffice to indicate very briefly the direction in which, as it appears to the writer, the truth may be found.
