Bible Readings for the Home Circle Part 193
15. What did Christ say would be their experience in obeying His instruction?
"If ye know these things, _happy are ye if ye do them_." Verse 17.
16. How does Christ regard an act performed toward the humblest of His disciples?
"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, _ye have done it unto Me_." Matt. 25:40.
NOTE.-The great lesson intended to be taught by the inst.i.tuting of this ordinance evidently was such humility as would lead to willing service for others. The ordinance itself has been practised by many of the most devout followers of Christ during the Christian era, and is still observed by some. Kitto, in his Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature, says it became "a part of the observances of the early Christian church," and that "traces of the practise abound in ecclesiastical history." The Waldenses held it as an ordinance of the church (see their "Confession of Faith,"
page 12); and according to the Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature (Vol. III, page 616), "the Church of England at first carried out the letter of the command." It is a great test of character, and its observance tends to unite hearts in Christian fellowship and love.
I will never, never leave thee, I will never thee forsake; I will guide, and save, and keep thee, For My name and mercy's sake: Fear no evil, Only all My counsel take.
