THE SAME JESUS
Jesse M. Hendley
Hebrews 13:7-8
Let us turn together to Hebrews, Chapter 13, and
verses 7 and 8. "Remember them that have the rule over
you, men that spake unto you the Word of God, and
consider the issue of their life; imitate their
faith." That is a wonderful statement, friends There
are people in this world whom we are to imitate--
-people who live close to God. I am thinking now of
one of the most Godly men I have ever known. He is a
man who studies the Bible, one of the deepest, most

was a man of prayer, that when he came to his last
hour, he requested everyone to leave the room, that he
might spend his last hour with God."
This deep, spiritual man continued, "The third man who
had a great influence on my life was D. L. Moody. Just
before he died, he held a series of meetings in
Chicago. I heard him preach one day on Elisha
receiving Elijah's mantle. You could almost see that
mantle coming down as Elijah went up, and Elisha
receiving it and going forth in the power and strength
of that prophet. Mr. Moody went from Chicago to Kansas
City, where he was stricken down, and then to
Northfield, where he went to be with the Lord. An ...
