“ALL THE WORK WAS FINISHED”

T. E. Druckenmiller

It always affects one’s heart to come into this city where God

has maintained His testimony for many years, and the

impression one has as sitting here this morning is a sense of

the glory of Jehovah coming in among His people. And I

believe the Lord would speak to our hearts as to what a

privilege it is to be here.

We read in Chronicles that “all the work was finished”. What a

precious touch is the finish of the work of God in one of

Christ’s own—the finish of the work of God. How precious to

see it in our beloved sister. Who’ll we have learned to love and

appreciate, the work of God in her finished and she taken to

be with the Lord Jesus Christ. Solomon says, “Better is the

end of a thing than its beginning” (Ecclesiastes 7: 8), and our

sister’s life of devoted love for Christ is completed and we

would speak with honour of it. We would take account too of

what has been said as to the prayers of one who has loved the

testimony of the Lord in the place where He placed her. That is

a need with us all, beloved, to honour and respect the Lord’s

ordering of our way, where He places us, and then to fill out in

responsibility what He has given in grace into our hands to

care for in His absence. What we are tested about, beloved, is

the continuance of the testimony for the pleasure of God. As

we think of this city and go back over the history and the times

that we have come here, we have a great sense of the glory

and fulness of divine pleasure because of the faithfulness of

men of God who stood by the testimony of the Lord. And

yet the enemy has assailed and brought in public failure and

sorrow; we are not here to make a lot of that, but it cannot be

denied that there has been sorrow in the testimony.
