Salvation: Getting on Too Fast
A pious old slave had a wicked master. This master had much
confidence, however, in the slave's piety. Sometimes the master would
be serious and thoughtful about religion. One day he came to the old
slave with the New Testament in his hand and asked if he would explain
a passage for him. The slave was willing to try and asked what it was.
"It is here in the Romans," said the master. "Have you done all that
it tells you to do in Matthew, Mark, and John?" inquired the slave,
seriously fixing his eye upon his master's. "No, I haven't," he said.
"Then you're getting along too fast, too fast, master. Go back to the
beginning of the Book; do all it tells you till you get to Romans, and
you will understand it easy enough then, for the Book says, 'If any
man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine.'"
