The Honour of Serving Christ
Philippians 1:1-3
Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi…


When the Spartan king advanced against the enemy, he had always with him some one that had been crowned in the public games of Greece. And they tell us that a Lacedaemonian, when large sums were offered him on condition that he would not enter the Olympic lists, refused them. Having with much difficulty thrown his antagonists in wrestling, one put this question to him, "Spartan, what will you get by this victory? "He answered with a smile, "I shall have the honour to fight foremost in the ranks of my prince."

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
