I am called of God. My authority is above that of the kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as the personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my master and has chosen me to represent him; to stand in his place; to say and do what he himself would say and do if he personally were ministering among the very people to whom he has sent me. My voice is his voice, and my acts are his acts; my words are his words, and my doctrine is his doctrine—for I am his agent. My commission is to do what he wants done, to say what he wants said, to be a living, modern witness—in word and in deed—of the divinity of his great and marvelous latter day work. And he that receiveth me receiveth Him, while he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me. How great is my calling. |
