We are Kings and Priests

God wanted to be a sovereign King over his people, but they denied him as king. (1Samuel 8:7), (John 18:33, 19:15).

Apostle Paul says that, Jesus was not a high priest on legal regulation about physical descent, and if He were on earth he would not be a priest (Hebrews 7:16, 8:4), but the sacrifices and offerings are the shadow of the heavenly things.

Now that we have a change in law (Hebrews 7:12).

Let's recognise who we are through His blood?

The multitude of heavenly host (Luke 2:13), saying, "And (Jesus) hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." (Revelation 5:10).

And again in Revelation 1:6, "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

For Jesus emptying himself (Philippians 2:7), and gave us the honour of being kings and priests of God the Father. What a great blessing we have, though ineligible.
