The Field Is the World

"The Field Is the World."—Here is an echo of what is called by many "Christian" sentiment: "Noble the cry—America for Americans, England for the English, France for the French!" But the Christian truth is, "The field is the world." To all the world is the Christian sent forth, "debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise," by virtue of the great fact that Christ has purchased all men with his own life. He who acknowledges Christ's ownership and leadership will count himself, as did Paul, "debtor" to all; and he will count all the purchase of Christ's blood. He will hate their sins, but he will love and endeavor to save their souls.
