God's Work is Our Work
Griffith John. John 4:29-30 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?… The other evening I was spending a few hours with a friend, and a lady who happened to be present when we were talking about this missionary work, said, "But, Mr. John, do you not know that we have a great deal of our own work to do?" "Why, madame," said I, "is not the missionary work your work? Is it not the work of the Churches?" That seemed to be a new light to her altogether; and there are a great many people in these days who seem to think that this work is the work of the missionaries arid not their own. I go to China to do your work. If I go into the deep well, it is for you to hold the rope you must not leave me there. (Griffith John.)
