23 The Missionary's Goal
¡§Behold, we go up to
Jerusalem.¡¨ Luke 18:31
In the natural life our ambitions alter as we
develop; in the Christian life the goal is given at the beginning, the
beginning and the end are the same, viz., Our Lord Himself. We start with
Christ and we end with Him ¡V ¡§until we all attain to the stature of the manhood
of Christ Jesus,¡¨ not to our idea of what the Christian life should be. The aim
of the missionary is to do God's will, not to be useful, not to win the
heathen; he is useful and he does win the heathen, but that is not his aim. His
aim is to do the will of his Lord.
In Our Lord's life Jerusalem was the place where He
reached the climax of His Father's will upon the Cross, and unless we go with
Jesus there we will have no companionship with Him. Nothing ever discouraged
Our Lord on His way to Jerusalem. He never hurried through certain villages
where He was persecuted, or lingered in others where He was blessed. Neither
gratitude nor ingratitude turned Our Lord one hair's breadth away from His
purpose to go up to Jerusalem.
¡§The disciple is not above his Master.¡¨ The same things will happen to us
on our way to our Jerusalem. There will be the works of God manifested through
us, people will get blessed, and one or two will show gratitude and the rest
will show gross ingratitude, but nothing must deflect us from going up to our
Jerusalem.
¡§There they crucified Him.¡¨ That is what happened when Our Lord reached
Jerusalem, and that happening is the gateway to our salvation. The saints do
not end in crucifixion: by the Lord's grace they end in glory. In the meantime
our watchword is ¡V I, too, go up to Jerusalem.
