In Honour of the Father and His Son
Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

“As by faith we look to Jesus, our faith pierces the shadow, and we adore God for His wondrous love in giving Jesus the Comforter.” 19MR 297 Note: This is a very interesting use of language. Ellen White calls Jesus the Comforter. Ellen White knew the Bible well enough to know the implications of making such a statement. Some people may read this and claim that she is saying that Jesus is th Holy Spirit, but this is incorrect. It is the personal presence of Jesus that comforts us through the representation of the Holy Spirit. Accepting that the identity of the Holy Spirit is a complete mystery and that "He does not speak of Himself" We do not need to trouble ourselves with trying to know the identity of the Spirit, only that He brings the person of Jesus to me and that Jesus is the person I must focus upon. |
Who is He?[Christ]-- The life. When we are ministers of Christ, we are only the ministers of that endless life, "that eternal life." Oh, then, how can I be a minister of the life of Christ, a minister of the life of God, when my ministry is as continuous as my life, unless I am connected with that fountain of life, so that that eternal life is my life? Only thus can I become a minister of life; and this is life eternal, you all know, "that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent." Do "you see your calling, brethren"? We are ministers of Christ, and in that are ministers of eternal life to the dead. What a calling! and what a height there is to the calling! {April 4, 1901 A.T. Jones, GCB 35} |
