John 18:25-27
Now Simon Peter stood and
warmed himself.
Therefore they said to him,
“You are not also one of His disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am
not!” One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter
cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?” Peter then denied
again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
Loyalty to Jesus Christ is
the supernatural work of redemption wrought in me by the Holy Ghost who sheds
abroad the love of God in my heart, and that love works efficaciously through
me in contact with everyone I meet. I remain loyal to Him although every common
sense fact gives the lie to Him and declares that He has no more power than a
morning mist.
The loyalty of a missionary
is to keep his soul concentratedly open to the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The men and women our Lord sends out on His enterprises are the ordinary human
stuff, plus dominating devotion to Himself wrought by the Holy Ghost.
