And again, _My meat and drink is to do the will of him that sent me_. Now, can any Christian shew, why he may think otherwise of himself, than our Saviour here thought? Or that he need be _less devoted_ to the glory of God than he was? What is there in our nature and _condition_ to make any difference of this kind? Or can any thing else be the happiness of our nature, but that which was the happiness of his? Was he a _loser_? Did he leave the true happiness of _human life_, by devoting himself to the will of God? Or can this be our case, tho’ it was not his? *Can we be _losers_ by looking to God _alone_, and _devoting_ ourselves to his glory? Was it not the greatness and happiness of our Saviour that he lived to God alone? And is there any other greatness or happiness for us? We may as well seek out for another God, as for another happiness, or another way to it, than that in which Christ is gone before us. He did not mistake the nature of _man_, or the nature of the _world_; he did not overlook any _real felicity_, or pass by any _solid good_; he only made the best use of human life; and his spirit and temper is as _necessary_ for our condition as it was for his. For this world, and all the things of the world, signify as _little_ to us as they did to him. We are no more in our _true state_, till we are got out of this world, than he was; and we have no way to arrive at true felicity and greatness, but by so _devoting_ ourselves to God as our blessed Saviour did. We must therefore make it the business, and aim of our lives, to be like Christ: and this not in a _loose_ or _general_ way, but with great _nicety_ and _exactness_, always looking to his _spirit_, to his _ends_ and _designs_, to his _tempers_, to his ways and conversation in the world, as the exact _model_ and _rule_ of ours. ♦XVI. Again, _Learn of me_, (saith our blessed Saviour) _for I am meek and lowly in heart_. ♦ Number XV. omitted in text.
