Hymn 286, “An Offering I
Would Bring”
(Testimonies)
Hymn 388, “In Lowliness
the Savior Came” Hebrews 8, “…such a high priest / minister of the tabernacle… of
necessity that
this man has something to offer… by how much… established on better
promises.” The Lord Jesus is the
sum of everything we have spoken.
He’s our eternal prophet, priest, and king. He’s our eternal high
priest. We have a purpose to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. The
priest God has ordained is
Jesus. Matthew 11:11, “… living
here.” John the Baptist – the high
priest appointed by heaven. John
the Baptist represented the priesthood and the prophets. He (John)
became less. He handed the priesthood over to
Christ. Repentance is putting
aside things that are not lawful in God’s kingdom. Hebrews 8 goes onto
say, “Behold the day come to make a new
covenant.” God does a “personal
work” within our lives. We need to
be connected to God, even when we’re in meetings and conventions - not
just
close, but connected. Sometimes
people sit on the provisions but do nothing with them. We have to be
able to use the provisions
that God gives us. You don’t
depend on man - depend on God. Make
sure the covenant is sealed and you have that river of access to God…that
living water. Not by chance, but
by reality - we have that chance.
The seed within us can grow in others. Proverbs 6:6, find the seed. God has given us every seed to use and we will profit with His seed.
