Priest Of God

In the Bible, the term "Priest of God" refers to individuals designated to serve as mediators between God and His people, facilitating worship, sacrifices, and rituals as prescribed in the Scriptures. The role of the priest is foundational in the Old Testament, particularly within the Levitical priesthood established during the time of Moses (Exodus 28-29). Priests were responsible for performing sacrifices, maintaining the sanctity of the Tabernacle (and later the Temple), and teaching the Law to the people (Leviticus 10:8-11; Deuteronomy 33:10).In the New Testament, the concept of priesthood evolves with the advent of Jesus Christ, who is referred to as the ultimate High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16). This transition signifies that all believers are now considered a "royal priesthood" (1 Peter 2:9), emphasizing a direct relationship with God without the need for human mediators. Thus, the priesthood in the biblical context embodies roles of service, intercession, and spiritual leadership, ultimately pointing to Christ as the fulfillment of the priestly function.

Priests Unto Him

4.3K1:23:32

REV 6:16

In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of true consecration and sacrifice to God. He describes the image of priests who are completely spent and exhausted, so immersed in their service to God that they become one with the sacrifices they offer. The speaker challenges the notion of quick discipleship and urges listeners to wait and truly seek God's presence before being sent out to change the world. He also highlights the need for a genuine fear of God and warns against the human taint and egotism that can be present in ministry and witness. The sermon concludes with a reference to the promise of God's glory appearing on the eighth day, symbolizing new beginnings and the reward for those who faithfully fulfill God's requirements.
