Andrew Murray

A priest is a man who does not live for himself. He lives with God and for God. His work as God’s servant is to care for His house, His honour, and His worship, making known to men His love and His will. He lives with men and for men. His work is to find out their sins and needs, bring these before God, offer sacrifice and incense in their names, obtain forgiveness and blessing for them…. This is the high calling of every believer. As the blood of Christ gives the right, the Spirit gives the power for believing intercession. He breathes into us the priestly spirit and a burning love for God’s honour and the saving of souls…. The more a Christian is truly filled with the Spirit of Christ the more spontaneous will be the giving himself up to the life of priestly intercession.
