"Oh, must Christ, the Majesty of heaven, the King of glory,
@ bear the heavy cross and
@ wear the thorny crown and
@ drink the bitter cup,
while we recline at ease,
glorify ourselves,
and forget the souls that He died to redeem by His precious blood?
No;" Counsels on Stewardship p.21 E.G.W.
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all;
first being by interpretation
King of righteousness,
and after that also King of Salem, which is,
King of
peace;
Without father,
without mother,
without descent,
having neither beginning of
days, nor end of life;
but made like unto the Son of God;
abideth a priest
continually.
Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave
the tenth of the spoils.
Hebrews 7:2-4
