June 19 Service Of Passionate
Devotion
¡§Lovest thou Me? . . . Feed My sheep.¡¨ John 21:16
Jesus did not say ¡V Make converts to your way of thinking, but look
after My sheep, see that they get nourished in the knowledge of Me. We count as
service what we do in the way of Christian work; Jesus Christ calls service
what we are to Him, not what we do for Him. Discipleship is based on devotion
to Jesus Christ, not on adherence to a belief or a creed. ¡§If any man come to
Me and hate not . . . , he cannot be My disciple.¡¨ There is no argument and no
compulsion, but simply ¡V If you would be My disciple, you must be devoted to
Me. A man touched by the Spirit of God suddenly says ¡V ¡§Now I see Who Jesus
is,¡¨ and that is the source of devotion.
Today we have substituted credal belief for personal belief, and that is
why so many are devoted to causes and so few devoted to Jesus Christ. People do
not want to be devoted to Jesus, but only to the cause He started. Jesus Christ
is a source of deep offence to the educated mind of today that does not want
Him in any other way than as a comrade. Our Lord's first obedience was to the
will of His Father, not to the needs of men; the saving of men was the natural
outcome of His obedience to the Father. If I am devoted to the cause of
humanity only, I will soon be exhausted and come to the place where my love
will falter; but if I love Jesus Christ personally and passionately, I can
serve humanity though men treat me as a door-mat. The secret of a disciple's
life is devotion to Jesus Christ, and the characteristic of the life is its
unobtrusiveness. It is like a corn of wheat, which falls into the ground and
dies, but presently it will spring up and alter the whole landscape ¡]John 12:24¡^.
