Study 10A A PROMISE TO CHRISTIAN WORKERS
(Scripture Portion: Psalm 126)
The last two verses of this psalm are the key-verses of this study, and the last two phrases in particular are wonderfully prophetic, in a three-fold sense. First , they are prophetic of Israel’s history. The words have already received a large measure of fulfilment, and today the Jews everywhere are passing through the time of tears and weeping. Soon their time of weeping will pass and they will “return with songs of joy”. Second , they are prophetic of our Lord’s ministry. Meditate on the separate phrases in verse 6, and compare the following: Psalm 40:7; Luke 9:51; 19:41; John 11:25 and Hebrews 5:7; John 12:24; 14:3; Jude 14.
Third, these words are prophetic, or descriptive of
Christian workers. There is a three-fold contrast: (1) going out and coming in again; (2) weeping and rejoicing; (3) carrying seed and carrying sheaves. Let us look at the description of the Christian worker in verse 6.
1 . The Christian Worker is one who GOES OUT
In Mark 16:15, we read the Great Commission that is binding upon every Christian.
1. Note the word “GOES”. This implies activity, movement. The important part of Christian service is the actual doing of it. This was the secret of the marvellous success that attended the labours of the apostles –- “they went out… …” (Mark 16:20). Are you “going” (Matthew 28:19)?
2. Note the word “OUT”. This implies leaving one place and going to another. It could mean leaving home and going abroad. It certainly means that if we are to be used of the Lord we must go where He sends us, to where lost sinners are waiting to be saved – and many of them are waiting! We need to be stirred out of the rut of ease, selfishness and complacency, to go out in the name of the Lord. Are you going out to save souls –- Acts 8:4?
2 . The Christian Worker needs to have a PASSION FOR SOULS
“He who goes out weeping……” It is not enough to go –- we must have compassion for the souls of men;
On one occasion General Booth received a message from one of his officers saying that the work was so hard that he could make no progress. The General replied with a telegram –- “Try tears!” Perhaps that is the Lord’s message to you? Look up Galatians 4:19....Try tears! See you in the next part ...pray to God to hive you a compassionate heart.
