Obedience
"From that hour that disciple took her unto his own home ." John 19 .
What Christ told him to do he did at once . What He tells you to do , do it at once . If you would take your orders from Mary herself , she refers you to Him , and says , " Whatsoever He saith to you , do it ." HE is the lawgiver . No one may give an order in His Church after He has spoken on the thing in question , His word is the law final and decisive ; and every commandment of His , is a commandment with promise . "Whatsoever He saith , " do it at once . Why wait ? The essential truth will never be more true , the right never more right . You may , if you will , have help at once , wisdom at once , courage at once to obey Him at once , as John did .
