A Holy Priesthood

We aren’t built into a spiritual house to be nothing and do nothing.  This spiritual house, Scripture says, is to be a holy priesthood.

“As you come to him, the living Stone– rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him– you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2:4-5)

Think of all the things people sacrifice to…spend their time doing…dwell upon…and offer their service in support.  That’s not to say that it’s unimportant, undesirable, or unnecessary, but how much of it will fade away? 

Now think of the spiritual house, the holy priesthood…it’s eternal.  Given the fact that it will last forever,

Psalm 119:12 Praise be to you, LORD; teach me your decrees. 13 With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. 14 I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. 15 I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. 16 I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word. 17 Be good to your servant while I live, that I may obey your word.  18 Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.

Amen.
