GOD has committed to men such responsibility that Ezekiel and Jeremiah
can warn and save, or refrain and be guilty of blood. And
we know that this is true of us. In all our walks we can
display Jesus or hide him; confess him or deny him. We can
let our light shine as a light on a lightstand, that men
may glorify our Father, or we can behave so that the way
of truth is evil spoken of. In our own midst we can turn
a sinner from the error of his way, or we can destroy him
with our meat for whom Christ died. To hold forth the Word
of Life is not therefore the voluntary pastime of a few
of us; in some form it is the responsibility of us all.
