24 The ¡§Go¡¨ Of Preparation
¡§Therefore if thou bring thy
gift to the altar, and there thou rememberest that thy brother hath ought
against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be
reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.¡¨ Matthew 5:23, 24
It is easy to imagine that we will get to a place
where we are complete and ready, but preparation is not suddenly accomplished,
it is a process steadily maintained. It is dangerous to get into a settled
state of experience. It is preparation and preparation.
The sense of sacrifice appeals readily to a young
Christian. Humanly speaking, the one thing that attracts to Jesus Christ is our
sense of the heroic, and the scrutiny of Our Lord's words suddenly brings this
tide of enthusiasm to the test. ¡§First be reconciled to thy brother.¡¨ The ¡§go¡¨
of preparation is to let the word of God scrutinize. The sense of heroic
sacrifice is not good enough. The thing the Holy Spirit is detecting in you is
the disposition that will never work in His service. No one but God can detect
that disposition in you. Have you anything to hide from God? If you have, then
let God search you with His light. If there is sin, confess it, not admit it.
Are you willing to obey your Lord and Master whatever the humiliation to your
right to yourself may be?
Never discard a conviction. If it is important
enough for the Spirit of God to have brought it to your mind, it is that thing
He is detecting. You were looking for a great thing to give up. God is telling
you of some tiny thing; but at the back of it there lies the central citadel of
obstinacy: I will not give up my right to myself ¡V the thing God intends you to
give up if ever you are going to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.
