Companions of the Way (Morning)These are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through His name.
THE more clearly we appreciate the divinity of Christ, and His place as the Life-giver, the less shall we seek to formulate rules for the saving of souls, and the more eager shall we be that we and all men may be drawn into that mystic union which cleanses and saves us. The secret of salvation will not be curtly told in our words: it is safe from our definings and limitations. The call of the life without us to the buried life within, as the spring calls to the heart of the seed, this is the thought with which, in the tender little envoi that once ended the book, John recalls us to the point whence he started: the story of Jesus has been written that men may know that life comes through Him, because He is the Son of God.
