We are set for the work of showing people the blood of Christ

Would you like to know what we ministers of the Gospel are ordained to do? We are not set apart for no other end than to read services, administer sacraments, marry people, and bury the dead. We are not meant to do nothing more than show you the church, or ourselves, or our denomination. We are set for the work of showing people the blood of Christ; and except we are continually showing it, we are no true ministers of the Gospel.
