An Outlook of Hope

By James M. Gray, D.D.

(From an Address at Moody Bible Institute)

LET nothing that has been said concerning the attitude of some university professors, and even religious teachers, have the slightest effect in weakening your confidence in the things that you have heard and learned. Rather, let it strengthen your conviction of their truth, for God has clearly foretold of these days. The darker the apostasy looms, the stronger testimony it bears to His Word.

“Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night.” The night first, and the morning afterwards. The darkness is the prophecy of the dawn.

Jesus said, “When the Son of Man cometh, shall He find the faith on the earth?” The inference is that His flock in that day will be as “little” relatively as in the day in which He spoke the word. In the meantime we have His promise, “I come quickly; hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” — James M. Gray, D.D.
