ADDRESS: The King's Business, 558 So. Hope St., Los Angeles 13, California
T F we profess to serve Christ, we must *■ follow Him. As the soldier follows his general, as the servant follows his master, as the scholar follows his teach er, as the sheep follows its shepherd, so the professing Christian ought to follow Christ. Faith and obedience are the lead ing marks of real followers, and will al ways be seen in true Christians. Their knowledge may be small, and their in firmities great, their grace weak, and their hope dim. But they believe what Christ says, and strive to do what He commands. And of such Jesus declares that they serve Him and are His. Christianity like this receives little praise from man. It is too thorough, too decided, too strong, too real. To serve Christ in name and form is easy work, and satisfies most people, but to follow Him in faith and life demands more trouble than most men will take about their souls. Laughter, ridicule, opposi tion, persecution, are often the only re ward Christ’s followers receive. Their religion is one, whose praise is not of men, but of God. Yet, to him that followeth, the Lord Jesus holds out abundant encourage ment: “Where I am,” He declares, “there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.” Let us lay to heart these comfortable promises, and go forward in the narrow way without fear. The world may cast out our name as evil, and turn us out of its society, but when we dwell with Christ in glory, we shall have a home from which we can never be ejected. The world may pour contempt on our religion, and laugh us and our Chris tianity to scorn, but when the Father honors us at the last day, before the as sembly of angels and men, we shall find that His praise will make amends for all. —Bishop J. C. Ryle.
