Adoniram Judson, "The Jesus Christ Man"

Adoniram-Judson-LargeBible Scripture:
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. (Acts 20:24)
When Adoniram Judson graduated from college and seminary, he received a call from a fashionable church in Boston to become its assistant pastor.  Everyone congratulated him. His mother and sister rejoiced that he could live at home with them and do his life work, but Judson shook his head, “My work is not here,” he said, “God is calling me beyond the seas. To stay here, even to serve God in His ministry, I feel would be only partial obedience, and I could not be happy in that.”
Although it cost him a great struggle, he left mother and sister to follow the heavenly call. The fashionable church in Boston still stands, rich and strong, but Judson’s churches in Burma had fifty thousand converts, and the influence of his consecrated life is felt around the world.
