I would say to every preacher, elder, and teacher—preach Christ Jesus, our Lord!
When you are up or when you are down,
When you are young and when you are old,
When you first preach and when you last preach—preach Christ!
When your crowd is small or when it is large,
When men love you and when they hate you,
When you preach to the wise and when you preach to the unwise—preach Christ!
When you are happy and when you are sad,
When you are sick or when you are well,
When you see results and when you do not see results—preach Christ!
When you wish to comfort and when you correct,
When you preach to believers or to unbelievers,
When you are prepared and when you are not prepared—preach Christ!
The message is always the same—“We preach not ourselves but Christ Jesus the Lord and ourselves your servants for his sake” (2 Cor. 4:5).
