We ourselves know by experience that there is no place for comfort like the cross. It is a tree stripped of all foliage, and apparently dead; yet we sit under its shadow with great delight, and its fruit is sweet unto our taste.
C.H. Spurgeon

The Unknown Christian

This Christian’s name never made the headlines of this world as a great theologian or a silver-tongued orator. This portrait represents the faithful, consecrated, born-again layman, the foot soldier in the Gospel army. He–or she–is a Sunday School teacher, an usher, a singer, a bus worker, nursery helper, a parking lot attendant, or a prayer warrior. His–or her–service is unheralded but vital in the cause of Christ. His–or her–testimony adorns the Gospel, as he–or she–faithfully witnesses daily in the temple and in every house, by sacrificially giving time, talent, and tithe to the Lord’s work. Having faithfully served the Lord in the home, in the church, and in the world, this Christian will one day hear the Master say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many.”
