Excerpt from Christ His Own Interpreter: And Other Sermons John X: 11 1 am the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. If there ever was a Being, wearing the human form and living among men, who knew Himself and why He came here it was the Man Christ Jesus. He always walked in the shadow of the Cross He never forgot that He came here to, do the Father's will. Self-knowledge is the most difficult knowledge which men ever attain. There is no sphynx in Egypt like the sphynx in a man's bosom. Men think too much or too little of them selves. They pride themselves on being what they are not: on having a sphere which is not theirs. They undertake to do what they can not do they leave undone what they might do. All from want of self - knowledge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
