Those of us who have learned Christ desire to spread the good news to others.
To do this, it is not necessary to go to a foreign field, for we have many loved ones and others all about us who have not received the treasure that is ours. All these we can help by our words, our walk, our prayers, and our earnest pleadings.
And while imparting to them the treasure we ourselves have received we can go on feeding upon the precious Word, which is a veritable mine of wealth.
This will keep fresh in us the wonderful fullness of the work and person of Christ, and we ourselves shall be like ever-bubbling fountains, full of perennial joys, because we are feeding upon the tender pastures and drinking of the quiet waters, profiting in our souls by constant contact with Christ in communion.
This precious Bread of Life (John 6:5454Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:54)), necessary before we could live at all, is now the food which gives us strength to live for our Lord.
Through the faithful study and efforts of older brethren, we are supplied with much reading matter that is helpful in our study of God’s precious Word. The Lord revealed Himself in a wonderful way to these faithful servants. They tasted deeply of the riches of the grace of God, as they searched the height and depth and length and breadth of the inexhaustible store that is in Christ.
In our feeble way let us pass on to others what, through grace, we ourselves have received, praying that in so doing, others may be helped and blessed, and we ourselves refreshed and strengthened.
