It is God’s will that
every member of the “body of Christ” would be touched with a feeling
of the world’s infirmities, in order that, when exalted to the
Kingdom, they would be very tender, sympathetic and generous, when,
as the Royal Priesthood, they shall judge the world. Our Lord and
Master, who had none of the imperfections of the fallen race, but
was holy, harmless and separate from sinners, needed to take from
men their sicknesses and infirmities in order that He might be
touched with a feeling of our infirmities and be a faithful High
Priest. It would be thoroughly illogical to suppose that the lessons
necessary to the preparation of the High Priest for His office and
service were not necessary to the under-priests, called to suffer
with Him and to reign with
Him. |
