Edward Alexander Lawrence, Congregationalist pastor, says our giving resembles Christ’s life. It brings us into sympathy with Christ’s redeeming work. Christ had joy at the work set before him.

Do we want credit for “sympathy with Christ’s work” without any sympathy for neighbor? Can charitable service seem a box we check off with exasperation until can get back to real imitation of Christ?

How can you enjoy the joy set before us?

EDWARD ALEXANDER LAWRENCE (1808-1883) The Mission of the Church: or, Systematic Beneficence "Our happiness will be like his, as, in beneficence, our lives resemble his. Hence, it is more blessed to give than to receive ; for giving brings us into more perfect sympathy with Christ in his redeeming work, and pours into the soul the blessedness which he contemplated, when, 'or the joy that was set before him, he endured the cross.'"
