Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field… – Song of Songs 7:11

“Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field.” A loving Church spontaneously puts herself upon widened service. She has a large heart towards her Lord and longs to see Him reign over all mankind. She does not wait to hear, again and again, the Macedonian’s cry, “Come over and help us,” but she is prompt in mission enterprise. She does not tarry till she is forced by persecution to go abroad everywhere preaching the Word, but she sends forth her champions far and wide. As sure as ever she loves her Lord she asks herself the question, “What more can I do for Him?”

When she looks over the plot of ground which she has been tilling, she says, “It is not large enough! The harvest I can get out of this will not suffice me for my dear Lord.” And she says to Him, “Let me go to the regions beyond to break up the fallow ground and cause the wilderness to blossom.” Now, beloved members of this Church, do you not feel some such desire? It is upon my heart that we should be undertaking larger things for Christ. Keep up the old agencies by all manner of means—quicken them, strengthen them! But does not love suggest that as increasing years add increasing indebtedness to Christ—as we are always receiving fresh mercies, so we should make new and larger returns to our best Friend? If by us, as a Church, nothing new may be ventured, yet cannot each individual have his own plan and branch out afresh?…Enquire of Him (whom) you love and if your hearts are with Him, it will not be long before you will discover what He would have you do. The spouse, when she said, “Let us go forth into the field,” knew that the proposal would please her Lord for the nature of Christ is a large and loving one, and, therefore, He would bless the far-off ones. His is no narrow heart! ~ C.H. Spurgeon
