In reading the gospels I am very much struck with the way in which every hour of the time of the Lord Jesus is filled up. There is no loitering in the path of this blessed One through this world; no seeking (like we seek) for ease; life with Him is taken up with the untiring actions of love. He lives not for Himself. God and man have all His thought and all His care. If He seeks for solitude, it is to be alone with His Father. Does He seek for society, it is to be about His Father’s business. By night or by day He is always the same. On the Mount of Olives, praying; in the temple, teaching: in the midst of sorrow, comforting: where sickness is, healing: every act declares Him to be One who lives for others. He has a joy in God that man cannot understand: a care for man that only God could show. You never find Him acting for Himself. If hungry in the wilderness, He works no miracle to supply His own need; but if others are hungering around Him, the compassions of His heart flow forth, and He feeds them by thousands.
