John 10:1. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Now we may be absolutely certain that there is something of the utmost importance wherever Christ uses the solemn asseveration of "Verily, verily," - the same word is "Amen, amen" and it has been well observed that if it were not for Christ’s "Amens," our "Amens" would be of little value. It is because he who is the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, pleads in heaven that our "Amens" are accepted there. If, dear friends, Christ pays an earnest attention to our "Amens," how much more ought we to attend to his, specially when he doubles them - "Amen, amen, I say unto you."
