From Spurgeon's "Faith's Check Book"88-Lead the Way |
"The Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail." (Deuteronomy 28:13) If we obey the Lord, He will compel our adversaries to see that His blessing rests upon us.
Though this be a promise of the law, yet it stands good to the people of God; for Jesus has
removed the curse, but He has established the blessing. It is for saints to lead the way among men by holy influence: they are not to be the tail,
to be dragged hither and thither by others. We must not yield to the spirit of the age, but
compel the age to do homage to Christ. If the Lord be with us, we shalt not crave toleration
for religion, but we shall seek to seat it on the throne of society. Has not the Lord Jesus made
His people priests'' Surely they are to teach and must not be learners from the philosophies of
unbelievers. Are we not in Christ made kings to reign upon the earth? How, then can we be the
servants of custom, the slaves of human opinion? Have you, dear friend, taken up your true position for Jesus? Too many are silent because
diffident, if not cowardly. Should we allow the name of the Lord Jesus to be kept in the
background? Should our religion drag along as a tails Should it not rather lead the way and be
the ruling force with ourselves and others 3
