Admonition
6
Of
the Imitation of the Lord
Let us all, brothers, consider the Good Shepherd
who to save His sheep bore the suffering of the
Cross.
The sheep of the Lord followed Him in
tribulation and persecution and shame, in hunger
and thirst, in infirmity and temptations and in
all other ways;1
and for these things they have received
everlasting life from the Lord.
Wherefore
it is a great shame for us, the servants of God
that, whereas the Saints have practised works,
we should expect to receive honor and glory for
reading and preaching the same.
1.See John 10. 11, Heb. 12. 2, John 10 4, Rom. 8 35
For whom did the Good Shepherd suffer? He
suffered on the Cross for his sheep; his Saints
who though as yet unborn were nevertheless
claimed by him as his own
Christ bore the suffering and shame of the Cross
to reward those saints who followed him, each in
their own time.
Therefore we, who have not suffered in his Name,
ought not to expect reward for merely reading
and preaching about the Saints.
