§ 262. Christ closes his Public Ministry.—Final Words of warning to the Multitude.

The public ministry of Jesus was closed with these warning words addressed to the assembled multitude: “Yet a little while is the light with you; walk while ye have the light (receive it by faith, and become, by communion with it, children of the light), lest darkness come upon you (lest, lost in darkness, ye hasten headlong to your own destruction); for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.”
