“But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.”
Isaiah 61:6 KJV
Isaiah prophesied that all those who believe in the Messiah would be prepared by the Holy Spirit to be known as Priests of YHWH, not only those from the house of Levi. They will be called Servants of our God and will feast on the wealth of nations and revel in their riches! This has been the desire of God to make all of His people as priests which surpasses the priestly ministry of the old covenant. By the Blood sacrifice of Jesus, all believers in the new covenant of grace are priests. As Peter put it, God’s invitation is to be His “living stones” who are continually being assembled into a sanctuary for God. For now we serve as holy priests, offering up spiritual sacrifices that God readily accepts through Jesus Christ. We are priests before God in this high calling, God has reposed on us. Let’s fulfill our responsibility as a living stone in the Body of Christ, because our Cornerstone is Christ Himself! Hallelujah!
