Your Most Christlike Work
Wesley Duewel ( post mortem ), Author and Former President of One Mission Society
Hebrews 4:14 , 16
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens , Jesus , the Son of God … Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace , that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need .
The most Godlike life you can live is one of prayer . The most Christlike activity you can share is to pray for others . The heavenly seraphim around God ’ s throne never cease praising , adoring , and worshiping God ( Rev . 4:8 ). How wonderful that we can join the heavenly host in praise and worship .
But angels do not intercede . The ministry of intercession is , above all else , the ministry of Christ and those saved by Christ ...
Christ wants your prayer more than he wants any other service or gift . You can do much in addition to prayer , but you can never do anything more Christlike or more spiritually significant . Prayer must accompany all you do and take priority over all else . You mean most to Christ when you join him in prayer .
Christ lives today to intercede ( Heb . 7:25 ). If you want to share his heartbeat , share this , his most important ministry ...
You can never pray for others without him joining you . That is where he waits for you each day . His heart is breaking for the needs of men . He hungers for you to share his burdens and meet him in intercession . Prayer is your most Christlike work .
