Excerpt from The Winning of the Soul and Other Sermons
In the words which precede our text Jesus has been pointing out to the disciples what they must expect to endure. Indeed, in all his dealings with his disciples he never failed to point out to them that the Christian life did not mean escape from the losses, the perplexities, the trials, and the sorrows that were to be found in the world at large. All that He said was, that out of that sorrow there should come a joy which no man could take from the loving soul, and that in the midst of it we shall by patience win our souls.
The expression is a striking one, - much more forcible than that with which we are familiar in our King James version of the Bible, where it says, "In your patience possess ye your souls."
