TO WALK AS HE WALKED

TO WALK AS HE WALKED

I trust that in the daily routine of your new life you are kept in the consciousness that it is not the goodness of man, nor the skill of human education which you seek in order to discharge your duties, but the manna, the grace of Him who filled every place here in favour with God and men, so thoroughly dutiful and so unselfishly serving. This was His private life. When He came forth as God’s servant men hated Him because He was serving God and testifying for Him, and not simply their servant, though if they had seen truly they would have seen that it was the best and only true service for themselves. To walk even as He walked, wonderful as it is, is what we are called to. Where every one is in need, the greatest servant is the one who is most able and willing to relieve others. Are you a Joseph? The book of Genesis begins with a man in Eden, head over all, and closes with a man in Egypt — servant of all. I hope you are really learning in whatsoever state you are to be satisfied in yourself. That is to say in the resources that you have in God. This is the testimony which would tell most on those around.
