    “Christian Work” The Signs of the Times, 28, 9.

    E. J. Waggoner

    Some one has said, “Let Christ be in you, your all in all, and it will surprise you how much you can do for Him.” Yes; but it will not all be in the line of preaching and singing, or of holding Gospel conversations. These are good and necessary; but they do not by any means constitute the sum of work for Christ. The term “Christian work” is almost wholly restricted to these things, but it is a great mistake. All the work that Christ did was most certainly Christian work in the highest sense, and for eighteen years He worked as a carpenter. He spent six times as long in Christian work at the carpenter’s bench as in public teaching; and it is by that part of His life that we are saved, as much as by the latter part. Whoever does his daily task faithfully, no matter what it may be, giving diligence to become master of it, and to do it as well as it can possibly be done, is doing work for Christ; and whoever slights his work, no matter how small it may be, is not serving the Master. “Whatsoever ye do in work or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” E. J. WAGGONER.SITI February 26, 1902, page 133.1
