Amen, Doctor

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

But there persists something in mankind that likes the authority to try and "call fire down from Heaven" and just will not accept that Jesus did a complete and finished work.

Yep. Some people enjoy being authoritarians.

Did you ever see that old Cary Grant movie, "None but the Lonely Heart?"

In it, Grant says most people like to be led around by someone else, and instead he's "looking for a dog that does not seek a master."

Our only master is Jesus Christ. And we are led by His will, and not our own clever choice to follow Him or the many false facsimiles put in our way.
