THE VIEWPOINT
Now thanks be to God, which always causeth us to triumph
in Christ.
2 Corinthians 2:14
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=2co+2:14&sr=1
The viewpoint of a worker for God must not be as near the highest as
he can get, it must be the highest. Be careful to maintain
strenuously God's point of view, it has to be done every day, bit by
bit; don't think on the finite. No outside power can touch the
viewpoint.
The viewpoint to maintain is that we are here for one purpose only,
viz., to be captives in the train of Christ's triumphs. We are not in
God's showroom, we are here to exhibit one thing - the absolute
captivity of our lives to Jesus Christ. How small the other points of
view are - I am standing alone battling for Jesus; I have to maintain
the cause of Christ and hold this fort for Him. Paul says - I am in
the train of a conqueror, and it does not matter what the
difficulties are, I am always led in triumph. Is this idea being
worked out practically in us? Paul's secret joy was that God took
him, a red-handed rebel against Jesus Christ, and made him a captive,
and now that is all he is here for. Paul's joy was to be a captive of
the Lord, he had no other interest in heaven or in earth. It is a
shameful thing for a Christian to talk about getting the victory. The
Victor ought to have got us so completely that it is His victory all
the time, and we are more than conquerors through Him.
"For we are unto God a sweet saviour of Christ." We are enwheeled
with the odour of Jesus, and wherever we go we are a wonderful
refreshment to God.
