If anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself and pick up his torture stake day after day and follow me continually.—Luke 9: 23, NW.

What Jesus chose to do himself was the same that he directed his followers to do. He preached. Yes, he preached about the kingdom of God ; by the seashore, in the wilderness, on the mountains, in the te-ple, on the streets and in the homes of the people, at every opportunity he magnified the name and purpose of his Father. Because of having chosen this course he knew that his days were numbered, but he redeemed the time, bought up every opportunity, profitably used the time that remained for him. Seeing, then, that Jesus, who had such great potentialities in every field of human endeavor, chose to devote his time to the ministry of God, does it not follow that our prime objective should be the same? Most assuredly! Jesus instructed any who sought his favor to 'take up his torture stake daily and follow him'. Daily service, yes, full-time service should be the goal of every servant of God. W 2/1
