Death to Self is the Way Out into a Life of Sacrifice. DEATH TO SELF IS THE WAY OUT INTO A LIFE OF SACRIFICE
t must come down into our souls, "Yea, if I be poured forth upon the service of your faith I joy and rejoice with you all:" so spoke the apostle who drank most deeply into the Master's spirit: and again--"Death worketh in us, but life in you." "Neither count I my life dear unto myself, that I may finish . . . the ministry." Deeper and deeper must be the dying, for wider and fuller is the lifetide that it is to liberate--no longer limited by the narrow range of our own being, but with endless powers of multiplying in other souls. Death must reach the very springs of our nature to set it free: it is not this thing or that thing that must go now: it is blindly, helplessly, recklessly, our very selves. A dying must come upon all that would hinder God's working through us--all interests, all impulses, all energies that are "born of the flesh"--all that is merely human and apart from His Spirit. Only thus can the Life of Jesus, in its intensity of love for sinners, have its way in our souls. RETHREN IT IS THE VERY LOVE OF CALVARY THAT MUST COME DOWN INTO OUR SOULS YEA IF I BE POURED FORTH UPON THE SERVICE OF YOUR FAITH I JOY AND REJOICE WITH YOU ALL SO SPOKE THE APOSTLE WHO DRANK MOST DEEPLY INTO THE MASTER'S SPIRIT AND AGAIN DEATH WORKE IN US BUT LIFE IN YOU NEITHER COUNT I MY LIFE DEAR UNTO MYSELF THAT I MAY FINISH THE MINISTRY DEEPER AND DEEPER MUST BE THE DYING FOR WIDER AND FULLER IS THE LIFETIE THAT IT IS TO LIBERATE NO LONGER LIMITED BY THE NARROW RANGE OF OUR OWN BEING BUT WITH ENDLESS POWERS OF MULTIPLYING IN OTHER SOULS DEATHTH MUST REACH THE VERY SPRINGS OF OUR NATURE TO SET IT FREE IT IS NOT THIS THING OR THAT THING THAT MUST GO NOW IT IS BLINDLY HELPLESSLY RECKLESSLY OUR VERY SELVES A DYING MUST COME UPON ALL THAT WOULD HINDER GOD'S WORKING THROUGH US ALL INTERESTS ALL IMPULSES ALL ENERGIES THAT ARE BORN OF THE FLESH ALL THAT IS MERELY HUMAN AND APART FROM HIS SPIRIT ONLY THUS CAN THE LIFE OF JESUS IN ITS INTENSITY OF LOVE FOR SINNERS HAVE ITS WAY IN OUR SOULS
