Now listen - There is no message, no subject matter that is greater than this: God Himself, His self revelation, His attributes, His glory, His way among His creation, His will, His reach to human kind. The one who preaches and declares the testimony of God gives voice to truths that will outlast the universe. They have upon themselves the call to voice the mysteries that lie behind all meaning and they speak of those things that probe the heights of glory and the depths of love. It is heady stuff to be called to declare the testimony of God. That is its great reward and there too is found our greatest folly.
It is the folly of becoming puffed up in the ministry of God's Word. G Campbell Morgan, who was called the outstanding expositor of the 20th century, once said to future preachers of God's word these words. “The study of the Bible will curse us in the next ten years if we are not careful. Men will tabulate and analyze and think that they know everything. Man listen, for unless as the result of your study of the Bible you hear the imperial tone, the voice of the living Christ talking in your in most soul your knowledge is a mere technique that will burn you and ruin you in the next ten years.”
The correction comes only as we step out before the Cross and know in all we say only the Lord Jesus and Him crucified.
