“Jesus gave both his hands to the nails, how can I keep back one of mine from his blessed work?” — Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening
How prepared are we to put our hands to the good work God has prepared beforehand for us to do?
Colossians 3:23-24
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Christ has called us to conquest. We must conquer the world in His Name and cultivate it according to His Word through His Gospel.
Colossians 1:17
And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
The nails that held Christ's hands to the Cross were being held together by Him. If He did not hold the nail together, the nail could not have held Him to the wood. He endured those difficulties for us, we can endure some difficulties for Him.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Whatever you do, do it for the Lord. Anything done for His glory by His grace is not in vain. You cannot overdo it. You can never give Him more than He deserves.
