Signs of the Times

with contributions from J. George Dorn, Costen J. Harrell

[From Home Chat, London, England]

How is it that the Master was always meeting people in need? Perhaps you will say that they sought him out. Yes, they did, very often, and ... in crowds. But that was because, in a quiet and unobtrusive way, he had shown men and women and children that he was the helper of the helpless, the Saviour of the lost, the comforter of the sorrowing, the healer of the sick. He did not get his reputation by talking but by doing. You and I may say many prayers, and sing many hymns, and attend church regularly, and these things are all good if they are preparation and dedication for Christlike pity and compassion and self-sacrifice. But even faith without works is dead. Jesus said that he did the works of Him who sent him, and he has left us an example that we may go and do likewise every day.
