Jesus observed God’s times and seasons and
methods. He never recklessly exposed His life until from
the Prophets He recognized that His hour had come to be
delivered into the hands of His enemies. He did not make long
prayers on the street corners to be heard of men, nor exhort
the multitude with noisy harangue; as the prophet
indicated, He did not lift up His voice nor cry aloud in
the streets (Isa. 42:2). He chose God’s methods, which
are rational and wise, and which are effective in
selecting from among men the class which He desires to be heirs
of the promised Kingdom. Let those who would so run as to
obtain the prize, mark these footprints of the Master,
and be filled more and more with His
Spirit. |
