“Call thy labourers, and give them their hire.” — Matthew 20:8
God is a good paymaster; He pays His servants while at work as well as when they have done it; and one of His payments is this: an easy conscience. If you have spoken faithfully of Jesus to one person, when you go to bed at night you feel happy in thinking, “I have this day discharged my conscience of that man’s blood.” There is a great comfort in doing something for Jesus. Oh, what a happiness to place jewels in His crown, and give Him to see of the travail of His soul! There is also very great reward in watching the first buddings of conviction in a soul! To say of that girl in the class, “She is tender of heart, I do hope that there is the Lord’s work within.” To go home and pray over that boy, who said something in the afternoon which made you think he must know more of divine truth than you had feared! Oh, the joy of hope! But as for the…
joy of
success! it is unspeakable. This joy, overwhelming as it is, is a hungry
thing — you pine for more of it. To be a soul-winner is the happiest thing
in the world. With every soul you bring to Christ, you get a new heaven
upon earth. But who can conceive the bliss which awaits us above! Oh,
how sweet is that sentence, “Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord!” Do you
know what the joy of Christ is over a saved sinner? This is the very joy
which we are to possess in heaven. Yes, when He mounts the throne, you
shall mount with Him. When the heavens ring with “Well done, well
done,” you shall partake in the reward; you have toiled with Him, you
have suffered with Him, you shall now reign with Him; you have sown
with Him, you shall reap with Him; your face was covered with sweat like
His, and your soul was grieved for the sins of men as His soul was, now
shall your face be bright with heaven’s splendour as is His countenance,
and now shall your soul be filled with beatific joys even as His soul is.
