HOW IS THE SERVANT TO HELP OTHERS?
[p. 259] HOW IS THE SERVANT TO HELP OTHERS?
I am interested in seeing that it is no doing of mine, but of God’s, to fit me to be a witness! Again, no one is a witness until he is in the thing that he witnesses of. You may suffer a great deal for the truth, and yet there may be no interposition on the part of God until to human appearance all is gone! ... The man who is helped of God has the appearance of it, as well as the sense of it. Moses’ face shone. Elisha wore Elijah’s mantle. You may enjoy truth, and yet not be an exponent of it. J.N.D. said of ———— that he was trying to explain with his mind eternal life, which must first be understood in the soul.
Brethren were called out to be a light to the whole church of God, and the testings all along the journey prove that we must go on! If some lag behind they are in danger of the enemy, and we are grieved for them, but we must not stop for them, we must keep well in front if we would be of any use to others.
