THE GREATEST SERVICE

THE GREATEST SERVICE

To walk in Christ’s life down here, eating His flesh and drinking His blood, acting as He acted, rears up a monument for all eternity. One is so often endeavouring to do some great thing, instead of the greatest of great things, which is always at hand, namely, to live Christ here. Every act that is of His life will endure for all eternity. I feel it would at the same time abundantly occupy me and fit me for any service, were I simply set on living Christ here; beginning my day with storing up the manna, and finding not a moment of my time uninteresting or unoccupied, because I had still another, and a fresh step to learn. The same step is not set on the second time. Act the step before you for this moment like Christ, and if you do, it will be recalled and revived at the judgment seat; but if not, that particular brilliant is lost, and you will never wear it. You will have plenty to do all day; and the man most in His life and ways is always most fitted and prepared for special services. A slave can adorn the gospel of Christ in all things.
