PREFACE
The words of Christ -
"Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for
so I am." (John xiii.13)
"Take my yoke upon you and learn of me . . . and
ye shall find rest unto your souls." (Matt. xi.29)
There is nothing so perfect in the world as to be
quite above objection and criticism. The very sun which gives us light and
warmth is not free from spots, yet notwithstanding these defects it does not
desist from its regular duty. It behooves us in like manner to carry on to the
best of our ability what has been entrusted to us, and strive constantly to
make our lives fruitful.
When the truths set forth in this book were
revealed to me by the Master they deeply affected my life, and some of them
have been used by me in my sermons and addresses in Europe, America, Africa,
Australia, and Asia. At the request of many friends I have now gathered them
together in this little book, and though it is possible that there are defects
in setting them forth, I am sure that those who read them with prayer and an
unprejudiced mind will benefit from them as I have.
It would be impossible for me to set forth these
truths that have been revealed to me except in parabolic language, but by the
use of parables my task has been made comparatively easy.
It is my prayer that as God by His grace and
mercy has blessed me by these truths, so also they may be a blessing to every
reader.
Your humble servant,
Sundar Singh
