And the last is, Try the spirits. If anything calling itself
Christian teaching comes to you and does not glorify Christ, it is
self-condemned. For none can exalt Him highly enough, and no teaching
can present Him too exclusively and urgently as the sole Salvation
and Life of the whole earth, And if it be, as my text tells us, that
the great teaching Spirit is to come, who is to 'guide us into all
truth,' and therein is to glorify Christ, and to show us the things
that are His, then it is also true, 'Hereby know we the Spirit of
God. Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is of God; and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of
Antichrist.'



CHRIST'S 'LITTLE WHILES'

'A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little
while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father. Then said
some of His disciples among themselves, What is this that He
saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and
again, a little while, and ye shall see Me: and, Because I go to
the Father? They said therefore, What is this that He saith, A
little while? we cannot tell what He saith. Now Jesus knew that
they were desirous to ask Him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire
among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not
see Me: and again a little while, and ye shall see Me?'
--JOHN xvi. 16-19.
