The Human Part

 

Work of seeking, winning, and gathering perishing souls Christ has committed to his disciples. The redemption is divine, but the mediation of it is human. So far as we know, no lost sinner is brought to repentance and faith save through one who already believes. It is the Holy Spirit who draws souls to Christ, yet the Spirit works through believers on unbelievers. We see thus a hint of our responsibility for the saving of the lost souls that our soul touches. There are those who will never be saved unless we do our part to save them. Our responsibility is commensurate with our opportunity. Christ wants daily to pour his grace through us to other lives, and we are ready for this most sacred of all ministries only when we are content to be nothing that Christ may be all in all; vessels emptied that he may fill them; channels through which his grace may flow.
