When the Lord Jesus is ruling over this world, His people shall be willing to do what He desires. Wouldn’t it be nice if we were willing in this day of His rejection to say as little Samuel, “Speak, Lord; for Thy servant heareth” (1 Sam. 3:99Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. (1 Samuel 3:9))?
Many things that we must do each day can be performed easily if we “do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men” (Col. 3:2323And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; (Colossians 3:23)). We are not commanded to do things for the Lord, because the term “let us” in Hebrews expresses the desire of the new nature to do things for the Lord out of a willing heart. It is the response of a redeemed heart for all that has been done by a giving God.
While walking with the two going to Emmaus, why do you suppose the Lord Jesus made “as though He would have gone further”? He wanted to see if they would willingly invite Him into their home.
