37); Sodom (Matt. 10:15); Jonah and the fish (Matt. 12: 39). 2. Jesus endorsed the New Testa– ment even more emphatically than the Old. He proclaimed that the words which He· spoke were God's words (John 8:26-28), that He spoke only the truth (John 3:11), and that His disciples who wrote the New Testament books would be especially guided as to what to write. Things were to be brought to their remembrance (John 14:26); they were to be guided into all truth (John 16: 13) and taught all thlnKs; and were to be Inspired to teach others (Matt. 28: 20). He said to them: "He that heareth you hear– eth Me" (Luke 10:16). The New Testament ;writers were conscious of their Divine inspiration and authority (1 Cor. 2:16; 7:10-12). etc. What more complete authentication and evidence of Inspiration could be de– sired than this? Moreover, the Bible and this view of its authority have stood the test of time. In apostolic days, Pentecostal power was given to those who believed and followed the teachings of Christ and the Bible as having Divine author– ity. Ever since then, In the days of Luther, Wesley, Calvin, Knox and Whitfield, the great Godward . move– ments have been led by men and women who studied and believed the Bible
Today the successful evangelists l!ke Moody, Booth, Chapman, Billy Sunday and others have proclaimed the Bible as God's Word, while rationalists who have cast doubt on its truth and au. thority, may have written learned treatises and preached eloquent ser. mons, but they have not been noted for Pentecostal power converting and transforming men or for laying sure foundations of the Church. Moreover, on the mission fields to– day, rationalistic Christian workers 1 may engage in educational, medical and social work, but the great spiritual missionary movements have been fos– tered by such men as William Carey, Adonlram Judson, Henry Martyn, Alex· antler Duff, Hudson Taylor, Titus Coan, : Robert Moffat, Henry Richards, and 1 others who have believed, followed and o taught the Bible as the Word of God as t it claims to be. They accepted It as 1 having final authority in all matters o! dispute as Jesus and His disciples ac- 1 cepted It. I Anyone who starts out to follow r Christ may be led astray by following I the false light of misguided reason. They thus become "blind leaders of the r blind" and both fall Into the pit. 1 Those who follow Jesus Christ as the t Divine and Inerrant teacher may pass through shadows but will surely come out into the full light of God.
