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 tail? Should it not rather lead the way and be the ruling force with ourselves
and others?
