The teaching of the Sermon on the Mount is not--Do your duty, but--Do what is not your duty. It is not your duty to go the second mile, to turn the other cheek, but Jesus says if we are His disciples we shall always do these things. There will be no spirit of--"Oh, well, I cannot do any more, I have been so misrepresented and misunderstood". . . Never look for right in the other man, but never cease to be right yourself. We are always looking for justice; the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount is--Never look for justice, but never cease to live it.
Oswald ChambersThe Cross did not happen to Jesus: He came on purpose for it. He is โthe Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Oswald ChambersObedience to the call of Christ nearly always costs everything to two people- the one who is called, and the one who loves that one.
