Twenty Years of China Partnership: A Prisoner for the Lord, In Prison Or Out
I realized that my friend had become a prisoner of the Lord in prison, but I am always a prisoner of the Lord: one who is, for the time being, out of prison. It is by God’s will that we are where we are, but we are all his bondservant.
We do not seek suffering to gain Christ; we seek to gain Christ, even though there is suffering. If we walk toward the cross, it is only because our Lord is there. We do not avoid the cross by shrinking away from our call. We always go toward our Lord and his calling. We follow Christ to the cross. No reserve; no retreat; no regrets.
