Bible Note: There are several examples of 'ordination' in the Bible. People were consecrated for service (Num. 8:10, 27:18, Deut. 34:9). Here is a commission with encouragement (Deut. 3:28). Laying on of hands (Acts 6:6, 13:1-3). Paul's credentials as an apostle (Galatians 1:1). Called to be a herald, apostle, teacher (2 Tim. 1:11). Christ Himself was ordained by His Father (Hebrews 5:4-6) and we are called to a ministry of holiness (1 Peter 1:15-16).. Just food for thought. :) |
