Priests Under The Supreme Priest
Last week we considered our role as prophets who speak truth to, and share the gospel with, others. This week we consider our role as priests who encourage, pray and intercede for each other. Last week we were based on the Supreme Prophet who also embodies the Word through his death & resurrection (the gospel). This week we’re based on the Supreme Priest who also embodies the ultimate sacrifice in order to be the eternal Mediator between God and humanity. We are called to be kingdom of priests, making sacrifices of praise in Jesus’ name, praying for each other and the world, and “spurring each other on towards love and good deeds.” All this, thanks to the Great High Priest who has removed the curtain and become the living way into the presence of God.
