John 17:7-8

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 17:7-8. How they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me;

Every preacher of the gospel should ask is it that this is true concerning himself. When we pass on to the people the words which God has given to us, we supply them with real spiritual food, and so we glorify God; but if we only give them our own words, we do but mock their hunger, and we dishonour God. Our blessed Master, though quite able to speak his own original thoughts, kept to the words of his Father; let us be careful to imitate his example.
