--He Brought the Word, JESUS ~-"He must increase, but I must decrease." (John 3:30)-
The Indian Christian, the Sadhu Sundar Singh, was once asked if he was influenced by the honor his friends gave him.He said, "When Jesus entered Jerusalem, many people spread their clothing and palm branches on the street to honor the Lord.
"Jesus was riding, as the prophets foretold, on a donkey. In this way the feet of Jesus did not touch the street adorned with clothes and branches, but instead the donkey walked over them.
"It would have been very stupid of the donkey if she had imagined that she was very important. It was not for her that the people threw their clothes on the streets."
Stupid are those who spread the good news of Jesus and expect to receive glory themselves. The glory should go to Jesus.
The more people came to this godly man after his meetings, the more the Sadhu Sundar Singh withdrew from the crowd, to be in the silence where God spoke to him.
