The Royal Priesthood

After Jesus’ disciples receive the Holy Spirit, they become God’s temple and the physical embodiment of Jesus on Earth. The New Testament writers show us that followers of Jesus carry the responsibility to live as royal priests forward into eternity, reclaiming the lost calling God gave humanity to represent him and rule the world on his behalf. And the story of the Bible ends where it began: in a garden with humans serving and ruling as God’s royal priests forever.

When you hear about how the whole bible fits together it is so mind-blowing. I genuinely don't think anyone could have made it up. There are so many little pieces that fit together so perfect

I love this video! In the Western Church, the gospel message has been whittled down to focus on salvation more than vocation. Most Christians today see Jesus’ sacrifice as a means to have eternal life. But that is only a secondary “bonus” effect of Jesus’ sacrifice, not the main effect. The MAIN work of Jesus’ sacrifice was to enable us to BE the true humans we were meant to be: the Royal priesthood God had planned for us in the very beginning of creation. THAT is the good news! Yes, we have eternal salvation with God, but more importantly, we are now able to BE God’s light and love on earth without being held down by sin. THAT is the good news of the gospel that is too often forgotten and overlooked in The Church today. Amen! I can’t wait to delve more into this and take this calling seriously as a follower of The King.

All authority in Heaven and Earth belongs to Jesus, and he has sent out his followers to announce that his indestructible, good life is available now, in the present (Matthew 28:18-20). This strong, ongoing life means getting to know the God of love in the deepest way—so that our imaginations and affections can be transformed as we’re liberated to love God and love our neighbor (Mark 12:30-31).

We are invited to ascend into this way of living. In our very being, as the royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9), as temples filled with the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16), followers of Jesus become the place in the world where Heaven and Earth overlap, and this brings true blessing to every neighbor around us.

God bless you all that have tasted death and returned. God bless you all that are just hanging on by a thread. God bless you all that have gotten so used to pain that life without it seems odd. God bless you all that have gotten so close to ending your life but chose the pain of living instead. God bless you all that willingly give. God bless you all that smile back at strangers. God bless you all that will take time out of your lives to enrich somebody else's. God bless you ALL!
