Introduction by Sinclair B. Ferguson. No ordinary book of memoirs
concludes with the promise, 'I am with you always, even to the end of
the world.' But the biography of Jesus is no mere commemoration of the
departed; his promise makes the Evangelists' account a living history.
"Take the Gospel record in your hands", says Hugh Martin, "and you have
the means of causing you to realize Christ's presence." Whether you are
burdened, anxious, failing, sorrowful, or hardened, Jesus' promise means
that his perfect words come with power to people in every condition and
that he is present with his people in every situation.
