"This literal promise to Israel belongs spiritually o the seed after the Spirit, namely, to all believers.If we live u o our privileges, we shal live unto God so clearly and distinctly, that men shall see that we are set apar for holy service and shall nme us the priests of the Lord. We may work or trade, as others do, and yet we may be solely and wholly th ministering servants of God.
This being our one aim, we may leave distracting concerns to those who have no higher calling. They may manage politics, puzzle out financial problems, and discuss science; but we will give ourselves unto such service a becomes those who, like the Lord Jesus, are ordained to a perpetual priesthood.
Set Apart
"You shall be named the priests of the Lord."
~ Isaiah 61:6
"This literal promise to Israel belongs spiritually o the seed after the Spirit, namely, to all believers.If we live u o our privileges, we shal live unto God so clearly and distinctly, that men shall see that we are set apar for holy service and shall nme us the priests of the Lord. We may work or trade, as others do, and yet we may be solely and wholly th ministering servants of God.
This being our one aim, we may leave distracting concerns to those who have no higher calling. They may manage politics, puzzle out financial problems, and discuss science; but we will give ourselves unto such service a becomes those who, like the Lord Jesus, are ordained to a perpetual priesthood. Accepting this honorable promise as involving a sacred duty, let us put on the vestments of holiness, and minister before the Lord all day long."
