Excerpt - “For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45.)
IT is very necessary, beloved friends, to retire from all thoughts about our service to the Lord, and our work for Him, and to have our hearts occupied with His service toward us. And when I say this, you will not suppose for a moment that it is my desire or thought to weaken in any heart in this assembly, in the smallest degree, the desire to work for Christ, whatever sphere He may open for you, or according to whatever gift He may have bestowed upon you. Quite the reverse; indeed, I would seek in every way to strengthen and intensify that desire. But then one knows, both from experience and observation, that we may be so occupied with our work and our services that our hearts may lose the sense of what Christ is toward us in His marvelous character as a servant.
And here let me say that my immediate thesis tonight is the Lord Jesus as the servant of His people’s necessities. That is the field into which we are introduced by those scriptures which have been read in your hearing. The Lord Jesus is the servant of the soul’s necessities in every stage of its history, from first to last,—from the depths of your rain and degradation as sinners, in all your weakness and failure as saints from day to day, until He plants you in the joys of His own kingdom. And His services will not end there; for, as we read in Luke 12:87, He will gird Himself, and serve us in the glory. Thus His work as a servant overlaps the whole of the soul’s history, past, present, and future. He has served us in the past, He is serving us now, and He will serve us forever.
