Promptness in Work
Christian Treasury
Matthew 21:28-32
But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.…


We should aim at being too active to stagnate, too busy to freeze. We should endeavour to be like Cromwell, who not only struck while the iron was hot, but made it hot by striking — like the missionary who said, "If there be happiness on earth, it is in labouring in the service of Christ — like the blessed Redeemer Himself, whose meat and drink it was to do the will of God. The vineyard must be cultivated; and the command is that we enter it and work.
