July 3: The Joy of Service.

Healing More Than Lecturing.
"Behold, I send My messenger, and He will prepare the way before Me.  And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight.  Behold, He is coming," says the Lord of hosts.--Malachi 3:1, NKJV

NEVER WAS THERE such an evangelist as Christ.  He was the Majesty of heaven, but He humbled Himself to take our nature, that He might meet men where they were.  To all people, rich and poor, free and bond, Christ, the Messenger of the covenant, brought the tidings of salvation....He went from city to city, from town to town, preaching the gospel and healing the sick--the King of glory in the lowly garb of humanity.--The Ministry of Healing, 22.

He was always patient and cheerful, and the afflicted hailed Him as a messenger of life and peace.  He saw the needs of men and women, children and youth, and to all He gave the invitation, "Come to Me."

During His ministry, Jesus devoted more time to healing the sick than to preaching.  His miracles testified to the truth of His words, that He came not to destroy, but to save.  Wherever He went, the tidings of His mercy preceded Him.  Where He had passed, the objects of His compassion were rejoicing in health and making trial of their new-found powers.  Crowds were collecting around them to hear from their lips the works that the Lord had wrought.  His voice was the first sound that many had ever heard.  His name the first word they had ever spoken, His face the first they had ever looked upon.  Why should they not love Jesus and sound His praise?  As He passed through the towns and cities He was like a vital current, diffusing life and joy.--The Ministry of Healing, 19.
