Although he is not very well known today, Robert Chapman was one of the most respected Christians of his generation. His humble and kind attitude had a considerable impact on the lives of men such as George Müller, J. Hudson Taylor, John Nelson Darby, and Charles Spurgeon. These remarkable men agreed that Chapman was a giant among them.
This exceptional man served God in the small town of Barnstaple, England, during the nineteenth century. Chapman deliberately avoided publicity because he did not want to draw to himself the attention that rightly belonged to his Lord. Yet, toward the end of his life, he was recognized throughout the world for his great compassion, wisdom, and love. This saying characterized him: "My task is to love, without seeking to be loved in return."
The life of Robert Chapman cannot help but challenge the Lord's people to deepen their devotion to Christ and to love others more selflessly.
