Jesus was a man...

"Jesus was a man the same as all men are today. He suffered, was tempted and tried, just as you suffer ecause of temptation and trials.

We know that during His residence on earth in the visible body Jesus spent hours of every day alone with God and we know that, in His early manhood,

He went through just what we have gone through and what you are going through today.

We know that every man must overcome the mortal, the fleshly desires, the doubts and fears, until he comes to the perfect consciousness or recognition of the indwelling Presence, this `Father in me,' to whom Jesus ascribed the credit of all His mighty works.

He had to learn as we had to learn and as you are learning today. He was obliged to try over and over again as you are doing.

He was obliged to hold fast as you are obliged to

hold fast today.
