Sorry no testimony this week but a counterpoint to tomorrow’s thought from J. Hudson Taylor.
Consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to One who appointed him, and left us an example that we should follow.
To save man he became Man – not merely like man, but very man. In language, in costume, in everything unsinful, he made himself one with those he sought to benefit.
Had he been born a noble Roman rather than a Jew, he would perhaps have commanded more of a certain kind of respect; and he would assuredly have been spared much indignity. This however, was not his aim; he emptied himself.
Surely no follower of the meek and lowly Jesus will be likely to conclude that it is beneath the dignity of a Christian to seek identification with poor people, in the hope that he may see them washed, sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Let us be followers of him.
