Overview

In The Ministry of Christ: Past, Present, and Future, Mackintosh attempts to correct an imbalance of focus. Too often, he says, Christians focus on ministering for Christ without considering how Christ might minister to them. In doing so, the church unwittingly obscures the ways in which Christ himself ministers. Beginning with Jesus’ words “I come not to be served, but to serve,” Mackintosh’s account links together the concept of glory with Jesus’ life of humiliation, and links Jesus’ washing of feet with his life-changing resurrection.

“If you are occupied with your doings for Christ, you will never get peace; but if you will only take God at His word, and rest in His Christ, you shall possess a peace which no power of earth or hell can ever disturb.” (Page 6)

“You must pause and see and believe what the Lord has done for you. You must stand still and see the salvation of God.’” (Page 5)

“the Lord Jesus as the servant of His people’s necessities.” (Page 3)

“Jesus came into this world to meet our need, to serve us in all that in which we need His precious service, and to give” (Page 4)

“ lies the divine secret of peace—peace in Jesus—peace with God—eternal peace.” (Page 6)

Man’s complete ruin in sin, and God’s perfect remedy in Christ, are fully, clearly, and often strikingly presented [in Mackintosh’s writings].

—Andrew Miller, a leader of the Plymouth Brethren movement

Charles Henry Mackintosh (1820–1896) was notable for his work in philanthropic work during the Irish Potatoe Famine which affected much of Ireland, Scotland, and England at the time. He converted to Christianity through correspondence with his sister and through reading John Darby's Operations of the Spirit.
