Basilea Schlink emphasizes the significance of the priestly ministry of blessing, illustrating how blessings can transform lives, as exemplified by Father Bodelschwingh's blessing of a child. She highlights that as members of the royal priesthood, Christians are called to bless others rather than criticize, and that true blessings come from a life of holiness and repentance. Schlink warns against the hindrances to effective prayer and blessing, urging believers to cleanse themselves daily to fulfill their priestly duties with authority. The sermon calls for a return to a life of sacrificial love and intercession, reflecting the heart of Jesus in a world in need of salvation. Ultimately, she challenges the church to rise up as a royal priesthood, ready to bless and intercede for a world facing divine judgment.
