The work unto which the servant of Christ is called is many sided.
Not only is he to preach the Gospel to the unsaved, to feed God's
people with knowledge and understanding (Jer. 3:15), and to take up
the stumbling stone out of their way (Isa. 57:14), but he is also
charged to "cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet,
and show My people their transgression" (Isa. 58:1 and cf. 1 Tim.
4:2). While another important part of his commission is stated in,
"Comfort ye, My people, said your God" (Isa. 40:1). What an
honorable title, "My people " What an assuring relationship: "your
God " What a pleasant task: "comfort ye My people " A threefold
reason may be suggested for the duplicating of the charge. First,
because sometimes the souls of believers refuse to be comforted
(Psa. 77:2), and the consolation needs to be repeated. Second, to
press this duty the more emphatically upon the preacher's heart,
that he need not be sparing in administering cheer. Third, to
assure us how heartily desirous God himself is that His people
should be of good cheer (Phil. 4:4). God has a "people," the
objects of His special favor: a company whom He has taken into such
intimate relationship unto Himself that He calls them "My people."
Often they are disconsolate: because of their natural corruption's,
the temptations of Satan, the cruel treatment of the world, the low
state of Christ's cause upon earth. The "God of all comfort" (2
Cor. 1:3) is very tender of them, and it is His revealed will that
His servants should bind up the brokenhearted and pour the balm of
Gilead into their wounds. What cause have we to exclaim "Who is a
God like unto Thee " (Micah 7:18), who has provided for the comfort
of those who were rebels against His government and transgressors
of His Law. The contents of this little volume have appeared from
time to time in our monthly magazine during the last thirty years.
They were, previously, sermons which we preached long ago in the
U.S.A. and Australia. Here and there is an expression (especially
where Prophecy is touched upon) that we would not use today; but
since the Lord was pleased to bless them in their original form to
not a few of His distressed people, we have not revised them. May
it please Him to speak peace by them to afflicted souls today, and
the glory shall be His alone. Pink (1890-1953) was a Baptist
Preacher in England, Australia, and the United States. He is most
famous for his book The Sovereignty of God. After its advent, he,
assisted by his editor Mr. I. Herendeen, launched his yearly
publication, Studies in the Scriptures in 1921. These continued
until his death, totaling altogether 33 volumes of 288 pp. each.
Most of Pink's books are taken from these yearly volumes (written
monthly in 24 page format).
