A Faithful Minister's Sorrow
Isaiah 53:1-12
Who has believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?…


It is most sad to a tender minister to see unbelief and unfruitfulness among the people he hath preached the Gospel to. There is a fourfold reason of this —

1. Respect to Christ Jesus his Master, in whose stead he comes to woo souls to Christ.

2. The respect he hath to people's souls.

3. The respect he hath to the duty in hand.

4. Concern for his own joy and comfort (Philippians 2:16).

(J. Durham.)
