Assistant to All

After he turned over leadership of the Methodist movement to John and Charles Wesley because of their theological differences, George Whitefield said…”Let my name be forgotten, let me be trodden under the feet of all men, if Jesus thereby be glorified…Let us look above names and parties; let Jesus be our all in all…I care not who is uppermost. I know my place…even to be the servant of all.” In another letter he wrote…”Oh that I may learn from all I see to desire to be nothing and to think it my highest privilege to be an assistant to all but the head of none.”

May the pastors of our generation be so minded.
