Go Work in My Vineyard

“Go.”—J. K. Montgomery, a Presbyterian pastor of Cincinnati, expresses a grand but little-heeded truth in the following words: “‘Go work to-day in My vineyard.’ This is the command of Christ, which should be thundered in the ears of the church throughout Christendom. This command is not to the preacher, teacher, elder, or deacon—the few to whom the work of Christ is usually left—but it is to the ‘son,’ to every child of God, to every member of the church.” We can not do our work for Christ by proxy. There must be the giving of self in the work. The corn of wheat must die, or it abideth alone.
