On one occasion the Lord Jesus
Christ said to his disciples, "As my Father hath sent me into the world,
even so send I you." Christ was sent to preach
the gospel; so are we. Christ was sent for the salvation of God's elect; so are
we. Christ was sent to glorify God the Father; so are we. Christ was sent to do
his Father's will; so are we. We must not allow anything, or anyone, to turn us
aside from that mission for which we have been sent into this world. Let us
serve the Lord, our God and Savior, on the tiptoe of expectation, anticipating
his sudden return.
Soon our day of labor will be over.
