After asking you a question about God’s definition of a priest, I feel like Jesus talked to me about that this morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was just talking to the Lord about it and thinking about the words God would use to describe a priest.\u00a0 I have always liked words and learning the origin of words, so I was just talking to Jesus about that.\u00a0\u00a0In the middle of my rambling, the thought came, “You know the definition, and it’s not in words.”\u00a0\u00a0I stopped and thought about that and talked it out with Jesus, going through what I know about Jesus being our priest and being the only sacrifice holy enough to save us.\u00a0 And how the OT priesthood was a shadow of Jesus.\u00a0 Going through the Truth!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted words for a definition, but I now know God’s definition of Priest: God’s Priest is a Who, not a what!!!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure feels sweet thinking about all the things Jesus is and does for us, and it felt sweet going through what Jesus has let me learn from you, too. Thankful for getting to learn from you!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Beth.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

That sounds right to me, Beth.\u00a0 If God doesn’t make someone a priest, it doesn’t matter how a man who thinks he is a priest defines the priesthood.\u00a0 Nothing matters but what God does.\u00a0 God’s kingdom is alive.\u00a0 His truth is a who (Jesus), His way is a who; His life is a who; and His priest is a who.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Praise ye the Lord!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
