COME YE AFTER ME We have been put in trust with the Gospel (1 Tim. 1:11). As trustees it is our privilege and responsibility to see that the Gospel is carried to those for whom it is intended. The Lord’s first recorded command to His disciples was: “ Come ye after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men” (Mark 1:17). His last one was an ex pansion of the first: “ Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). After the lapse of nearly nineteen hundred years, one thousand millions of our fel low-creatures are sitting in midnight darkness, never having had an oppor tunity of hearing the “ grand and glori ous Gospel” of God’s matchless grace. Let us take to heart the Master’s words: “ Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest” (John 4:35). If we, lifted up our eyes more frequently and, looking over the walls of our garden-plot, stead fastly gazed upon the millions who are hurrying to death and woe, our hearts would be “ moved with compassion.” Though not expected to bring the whole world to Christ, we are responsible to do our best to bring Christ to the whole world. Yet, alas! every morning as the sun rises one hundred thousand souls have in twenty-four hours passed into Eternity, most of whom have never heard of God’s salvation. When the “ Iron Duke” was asked what he thought of “ foreign missions,” he characteris tically replied, “ Attend you to your marching orders.” If it is the Lord’s will that the Gospel be preached to “ every creature,” we may well ponder His words, “ Why call ye Me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46). This is a “ day of good tidings,” and if we “ hold our peace” when men are perishing through lack of the Bread of Life, we will certainly not be accounted blameless (see Pro verbs 24:11, 12).
