One of the great evils of the
time is that of deliberating about a plain command of
Christ, and asking, “What will
be the result of it?” What have you to do with results?
“But if I follow Christ in all
things, I may lose my position.” What have you to do with
that? When a soldier is bidden to go up to the cannon’s mouth, he
is very likely to lose
his “position,” and something else;
but he is bound to do it. “Oh, but I might lose my
opportunities of usefulness!” What
do you mean? That you are going to do evil that
good may come? That is what it comes
to.
Charles Spurgeon
