June 29, 2015 by 3 Comments
![The bread and the wine [ministered by Melchizedek to Abraham] signify God as our enjoyment, God being ministered to us to refresh, sustain, support, strengthen, and nourish us that we may grow with all the riches of God. This is the primary task of a priest. In principle, we who serve God today are His priests. As priests, our main responsibility is to minister Him to people. (W. Lee, Life-Study of Hebrews)](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The-bread-and-the-wine-ministered-by-Melchizedek-to-Abraham-signify-God-as-our-enjoyment.jpg?fit=300%2C225&ssl=1)

We need to grow unto maturity to become a part of the corporate full-grown man that fulfills God’s eternal purpose (Gen. 1:26).
