Was Christ a chosen servant of God and shall not we take Gods choice?1 Is not Gods choice the best, and the wisest? Hath God chosen Christ to work our salvation, and shall we choose any other? Shall we run to Saints mediation, to the Virgin Mary and others for intercession, which is a part of Christs office? Who chose Mary, and Peter and Paul to this work, there is no mention in Scripture of them for this purpose, But behold my servant whom I have chosen.
