"In my priesthood today, the only thing I'm sure of is that Yahweh called me to serve His people. The words of Hebrews, Chapter Five, ring out in my whole being: Every high priest is chosen from his people and appointed to serve God on their behalf, to offer sacrifices and offerings for sins. Since he himself is weak in many ways, he is able to be gentle with those who are ignorant and make mistakes. And because he is himself weak, he must offer sacrifices not only for the sins of the people, but also for his own sins. No one chooses for himself the honor of being a priest. It is only by God's call that a man is made high priest ... You will be a priest forever in the priestly order of Melchizedek ... You are my Son, today I have become your Father." |
