How does ministering to Christ glorify Him?

In the sermon, Ryle points out that Christ, though fully capable of providing for Himself, chooses to allow His followers to minister to Him. This act serves a double purpose: it reveals our love for Him and tests our regard for His ministry. By participating in His work, whether through prayer, service, or contributions, we affirm our relationship with Him and our desire to see His kingdom advanced. It also emphasizes that our faith is demonstrated by our actions and willingness to support Christ’s mission in the world.
