Grace for your spirit
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; I Peter 2:9
Most Christians think it is odd to be called a "priest." If we could get comfortable being called priests, then maybe we could get comfortable fulfilling the role of a priest in the kingdom of Jesus. Not Old Testament priests, nor Catholic priests, but priests of Jesus, washed in the blood of the Lamb. In the New Covenant, the Lord's Church is the chosen race, the royal priesthood, the holy nation, owned by God to proclaim His light in the darkness. Our only mediator between us and God is Jesus Himself, and our lives are called to be living sacrifices. Let's see ourselves as priests in His Kingdom, and start serving the Lord as we should each day.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
