Last Sunday, we had our Territorial Commander, Colonel Lyndon Buckingham to conduct the meeting at William Booth Corps. It was a good meeting. His message was from 1 Peter 2: 9 "You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light."
He reminded the congregation that we are specially chosen people of God, a privileged people. In Old Testament times people did not approach God directly. A priest acted as intermediary between God and sinful men. With Christ's victory on the cross of Calvary the pattern has changed. Now we can come to God directly, yes into His presence. We are also charged with the responsibility of bringing others to Him. We believe in the priesthood of all believers. It's a privilege and a responsibility.
Let us live the life of holiness. Let our words and deed speak of Christ.
