Excerpt from Beginning Life: A Series of Sermons to the Young "I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day." - John ix. 4. The life of Jesus Christ was pervaded with a feeling of responsibility. He spoke of himself as having come to this earth on a most momentous mission, and his thoughts were perpetually concentrated upon the accomplishment of it. They who have entered most fully into the meaning of his life have had some such feeling about themselves. His mission was infinitely more glorious than theirs, or than that of any human being, but all his brethren, as he calls us, must have, like him, a God-given work to do. This, it must be confessed, is a somewhat serious, not to say sombre, view to take of life, it is a view that theoretically very many, and practically very many more, openly or tacitly refuse to take. Life, as they look at it, is a career - something to be played like a game, and he who wins, though he may have broken all the rules, is to have the prize.
