Excerpt
This word of encouragement, which exhorts to both cheerfulness and courage, is often upon Christ?s lips. It is only once employed in the Gospels by any other than He. If we throw together the various instances in which He thus speaks, we may get a somewhat striking view of the hindrances to such a temper of bold, buoyant cheerfulness which the world presents, and of the means for securing it which Christ provides.
