Samuel Pearce on Christ as High Priest

"I rejoice in that he who pleads for us knows our wants individually, as well as the necessities of the whole church collectively. Through his intercession alone I expect my sins to be pardoned, my services accepted, and my soul preserved, guided, and comforted; and, with confidence in his intercession, I cannot doubt but I shall enjoy all. Oh how sweet is it, my dear friend, to exercise a lively faith in a living Savior!"

This is a portion of a letter sent in 1790 to a friend. Found on page 8 of A Heart for Missions: Memoir of Samuel Pearce published by Solid Ground Christian Books in 2006.
