Privileged People
May 6, 2018 • Pastor Pat Tamakloe • 1 Peter 2:9
Once Israel was the line by which God set forth what pleased Him and what was against his will. It is no longer exclusively Israel, we are a chosen generation. We are a royal priesthood. In Israel royalty and the priesthood were separate. In Jesus they have been brought together for us.
We who were once alienated and without any privileges have now been made kingly
priests, but heirs to the throne with Jesus and ministers of God's grace. He uses us to send forth his gospel and by extension, intercede on their behalf for God to save them. We prophecy his goodness and offer the sacrifice of praise.
