To The Work! To The Work! Exhortations to Christians

The work opens with a vivid biblical illustration—Christ’s command to “take away the stone” at Lazarus’ tomb—to remind readers that even divine miracles require human participation. From that single image the author builds a series of urgent pleas, urging every believer to see themselves as essential instruments in God’s ongoing mission. The tone is conversational yet earnest, weaving personal anecdotes with scriptural references to show how ordinary actions can become part of a larger spiritual awakening.

Throughout the collection the writer confronts common obstacles such as prejudice against revival and complacency in daily life, arguing that true transformation begins with honest self‑examination. He draws on historic outcries—from Moses to Elijah—to demonstrate that revival is not a modern fad but a recurring divine pattern. By the end of the first act, listeners are invited to consider how small, faithful deeds might ripple outward, preparing them for the deeper challenges that follow.
