Luke 9:37-43 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.… It is said that Admiral Dupont was explaining to Admiral Farragut the reasons why he failed to enter Charleston harbour with his fleet of ironclads. He gave this and that and the other reason. Farragut remained silent till he had ended, and then said, "Ah, Dupont! there is one reason more." "What is that?" "You did not believe you could do it." A Church not believing the world's conversion possible will fail to accomplish it. To win victories for Christ the heart must be hopeful. That which kept Livingstone undaunted, and bore him on through numberless perils, until he died kneeling, with his hands clasped in prayer, was the thought "Africa for Christ!" Parallel Verses KJV: And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him. |
