CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES
DECEMBER TWENTY-NINTH.
Foreign missions:
The coming triumph of the Cross: how may we hasten it? Isa. 11: 1-10.
'In the last days.' Mic. 4: 1-5.
A promise of restoration. Hag. 2: 20-23.
A fountain. Zech. 13: 1, 2, 9.
The forerunner. Mal. 3: 1-3.
The spiritual Israel. Hos. 14: 4-9.
'The valley of decision.' Joel 3: 13-17.
The triumphs of the Cross are all greater because of their humble origin—truly a branch from the root of a stump (v. 1). All the triumphs of Christianity have come according as men allowed the Spirit of God to have His way with them (v 2). Universal peace is the great climactic triumph of the Gospel; and the world is hastening toward it (vs. 6-9). As the water crowds out all other substances, so the knowledge of the Lord crowds out all other thoughts (v. 9). One strong element in the coming triumph of the Cross is the Christian expectation that it will come. Every day the triumph of the Kingdom is hastened means the salvation of so many more souls. Christ's Kingdom will come on earth only as it comes in the separate souls of earth. There is one person at least that need never be ashamed of his enthusiasm, and that is the enthusiast for foreign missions. As the growth of a city is hastened by good sewerage, so the growth of the Kingdom of God is hastened by the heart purity of disciples. In a Roman triumph many captured slaves were led. In the triumph of the Cross all will be proud to be known as Christ's bondslaves. When the proclamation came abolishing the custom of burning Hindu widows, Carey left the pulpit where he was about to preach to translate the good news and spread it abroad as quickly as possible. Let such zeal animate us in publishing even better tidings.
