If, if, if! Such a small word to hide behind! Men tossed Saint John onto the isle of Patmos and said, “We’ll see now whether you’ll keep preaching and teaching about this man you call Lord. Barren rocks make a poor audience.” From that bleak and barren island came the book of Revelation. John Bunyan shivered in the gloom of a prison cell, and the hunger pangs gnawed his stomach, but out of that dungeon came the book of Pilgrim’s Progress to bless the world. “Two men looked out through prison bars. One saw mud; the other saw stars.”* So long as Christ fills the vision, no wave of life can swamp His own. “Follow Me, and I will make you.”
