<p>&quot;Grace and <strong>truth</strong> came by Jesus Christ.&quot; John 1:17<br />
  <br />
  <strong>The way to learn truth</strong> is to be much in <br />
  prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ. Beg of Him to <br />
  teach you Himself—for He is the best teacher. <br />
  The words which He speaks, they &quot;are spirit <br />
  and life.&quot; What He writes upon our hearts is <br />
  written in characters which will &quot;stand every <br />
  storm and live at last.&quot; <br />
  <br />
  We forget what we learn from 'man'—but <br />
  we never forget what we learn from Jesus. <br />
  <br />
  'Men' may deceive—Christ cannot.<br />
  <br />
  <strong>You can trust no minister really and fully.</strong> <br />
  <br />
  Though you may receive truth from his lips, <br />
  it is always mixed with human infirmity. But <br />
  what you get from the lips of Jesus—you get <br />
  in all its purity and power. <br />
  <br />
  It comes warm from Him—it comes cold from 'men'. <br />
  <br />
  It drops like the rain and distils like the dew from <br />
  His mouth—it comes only second-hand from men. <br />
  <br />
  If I preach to you the truth, I preach indeed as the <br />
  Lord enables me to speak. <strong>But it is He who must <br />
    speak with power to your souls to do you any <br />
    real good.</strong> Look then away from me—look beyond <br />
  me—to Him who alone can teach us both. <br />
  <br />
  By looking to Jesus in the inmost feelings of your <br />
  soul, you will draw living truth from out of His bosom <br />
  into your own—from His heart into your heart—and thus <br />
  will come feelingly and experimentally to know the <br />
  blessedness of His own declaration—&quot;I am the truth.&quot;
