HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div
“And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.” John 10:41
A very enviable testimony is this which is borne about John the Baptist, after he has himself gone home to God, from the darkness and heartache of prison. He did no miracle — but all that he spoke of this Man were true. I can covet no brighter garland.
I can do no miracle — How true it is! Heavenly light, spiritual strength, rest after weariness, life after death, the joy which is unspeakable and full of glory — they are not mine to give. Very circumscribed my powers are, very meagre my knowledge; my voice is unable to penetrate the deep places of the soul; my touch cannot impart health and blessedness and the new day. I must be content to fill a little space and to be included among God’s unnumbered rank and file.
But I can point men and women and children to Jesus the Christ; and all things, the vastest things, the most profound things, the sublimest things, which I say about Him will fall behind and beneath the glorious truth. It is an untold blessedness to be just a herald of the King of Grace. And when He comes to them, when they come to Him — they will discover that there is none like Him in earth or Heaven. They will confess, “The half was not told us!”
Yet, perhaps, in that hour of revelation, of emancipation, of transfiguration — they will remember me who guided them to Him. And they will thank God for me; and always, in their thought, through time and eternity, I shall somehow be linked with Him who is all their Salvation and all their Desire. Then my cup will run over!
