Lord Jesus, we want to use the spiritual gift You gave us to build up the church today! We come to You to enjoy You and obtain spiritual nourishment from you. May we cooperate with You to speak Christ to all kinds of people daily in season and out of season! Make us faithful and prudent slaves of God! Lord Jesus we love you ❤️
Christ is so enjoyable as we read his Word, fellowship with Him in prayer and sing in praise to Him. In our daily life as we continue to experience Him or in the meetings we should flow out our enjoyment of our precious Lord Jesus with all those around us. See similar hymns 1168- Laboring on Jesus, and 864- Let us experience Christ.
In this hymn we are encouraged to minister Christ, supply Christ, offer Christ, labour on Christ, share Christ, hold Christ, serve Christ, harvest Christ, taste Christ, receive and partake of Christ. Christ is everything to us. Hallelujah, Christ is all in all!
The first stanza of Hymns, #912 says, "Christ to minister is service / Both to God and others too." Concerning this line, the opposers say that it is correct to say "to others," that is, to man, but it is wrong to say "to God." This hymn was written based on the type in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, when the children of Israel worshipped God, they brought all kinds of sacrifices, which were types of Christ. The sacrifices brought by the children of Israel were not only for the people's enjoyment but also for God's enjoyment. The burnt offering was for God's enjoyment; some portions of the peace offering were for the people's enjoyment, and other portions were for God's enjoyment. Any sacrifice that was placed on the altar and burned became a satisfying fragrance for God to enjoy (Exo. 29:18; Lev. 1:9). This shows that as New Testament priests, we too should serve God by offering Christ as a sacrifice. The Christ whom we offer is not only for men to enjoy but also for God to enjoy. Thus, the opposers have no reason to say that to minister Christ "to God" is wrong.
Concerning Christ to Minister Is Service / Both to God and Others Too in Stanza 1 of Hymn #659 in Chinese
The criticizers argue that it is correct to speak of ministering Christ to others but that it is problematic to speak of ministering Christ to God. When we say, "Christ to minister is service / Both to God and others too" in hymn #659 in Chinese (Hymns, #912 in English), we mean that we serve God by offering Christ to Him, according to the last line of the chorus: "OfF'ring Him as service true." This, again, is revealed through a type. In the Old Testament God wanted the priests to serve Him through the offerings. The offerings that the priests offered to God all typify Christ, and some of these offerings were "food" offered to God; they were for God's enjoyment. God called them "offerings" (Num. 28:2; Lev. 3:11). Some were offered as food for man's enjoyment (7:15-16). This typifies that when we, the New Testament priests, serve God today, we should serve by offering Christ as the offerings. The Christ whom we offer should be food for God's enjoyment and also food for our enjoyment. In this way our service is not only ministering Christ to man but also ministering Christ to God. It is not wrong to say that service is to minister Christ to God. Most people see only that we should serve God by Christ; they do not see that we should minister to God with Christ. However, this is revealed in the Bible. Our service should truly minister to God with Christ for God's satisfaction and also minister to man with Christ for man's satisfaction.
