PRIEST

(Jesus, our great High Priest) Jesus was never guarding Himself, but always invading the lives of others with His holiness [Phillips Brooks].

For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people's, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. Hebrews 7:26-27.

TRUTH


Christianity knows no truth which is not the child of love and the parent of duty (Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893.)
 
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; steadfast love and truth go before You (Psalm 89:14).
