The Servant of the Lord Jesus Christ
By Theodore L. Cuyler
The most extraordinary man who has trodden this globe since the Christian era usually signed himself "the servant of the Lord Jesus Christ." This made him nearest like his Master; for his Master came not to be ministered unto, but to minister to others, not to do his own will, but his Father's in Heaven. The stimulus with Paul was love. That flame never cooled under the engine. He did not put all his devotions into a "week of prayer," nor all his preaching into Sabbath days, nor all his efforts to save souls into "revival seasons;" and he never shirked hard fields or difficult cases. "Whose I am, whom I serve" was the badge the old toiler wore as a frontlet between his eyes.—Theo. L. Cuyler, D. D.
