[Manna - May 1]
The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister. Matthew 20:28
IF the consecration be to the Lord, then every sacrifice
of our just rights and interests on behalf of ourselves
as New Creatures, on behalf of husband or children,
father or mother, neighbors or friends, brethren
in Christ, is counted of the Lord as so much done to
Him; whereas if the very same services were rendered
from any other standpoint—by any one unjustified,
and not consecrated to the Lord, or merely done to the
individuals and not as a sacrifice unto the Lord—these
things would not count to us as priests, as our sacrifices. Z.'03-407 R3266:4
