18 The Key To Missionary Devotion
¡§For
His name's sake they went forth.¡¨ 3 John 7
Our Lord has
told us how love to Him is to manifest itself. ¡§Lovest thou Me?¡¨ ¡§Feed My
sheep¡¨ ¡V identify yourself with My interests in other people, not, identify Me
with your interests in other people. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 gives the character
of this love, it is the love of God expressing itself. The test of my love for
Jesus is the practical one, all the rest is sentimental jargon.
Loyalty to
Jesus Christ is the supernatural work of Redemption wrought in me by the Holy
Ghost Who sheds abroad the love of God in my heart, and that love works
efficaciously through me in contact with everyone I meet. I remain loyal to His
Name although every common-sense fact gives the lie to Him, and declares that
He has no more power than a morning mist.
The key to
missionary devotion means being attached to nothing and no one saving Our Lord
Himself, not being detached from things externally. Our Lord was amazingly in
and out among ordinary things; His detachment was on the inside towards God.
External detachment is often an indication of a secret vital attachment to the
things we keep away from externally.
The loyalty
of a missionary is to keep his soul concentratedly open to the nature of the
Lord Jesus Christ. The men and women Our Lord sends out on His enterprises are
the ordinary human stuff, plus dominating devotion to Himself wrought by the
Holy Ghost.
