Kings And Priests
A humbling thought: By faith in Jesus, He makes us kings, queens and priests. We are to reign with Him in His future kingdom, but also we reign with Christ now. We have dominion over ourselves and the world around us. When we bow to our Master Jesus, He empowers us to master the good and the bad in our lives. Jesus became the Son of Man so we could become sons and daughters of the Most High. Christ became like us so we could grow into His likeness.
What does it mean for us to have dominion over ourselves? We can overcome unrighteousness. We are no longer slaves to sin since our righteous Savior overcame death. We rule over sin because our Ruler won the fight against evil forces. When we live in defeat, we are like prisoners of war who remain in the enemy camp even though the prison doors are unlocked and wide open. Not only have we been set free from sin, self, and Satan; now we rule over them. We are royalty!
Why has Jesus made His followers priests? He made us priests because He was the great High Priest who sacrificed Himself for our sins (Hebrews 9:11-12). Our priesthood means we have direct access to our Heavenly Father. We lift up our offerings of praise, thanksgiving, and repentance to Him. We bring our sacrifices to God since Christ sacrificed His life for us. Every follower of Jesus is a priest who daily surrenders and points people to Jesus. Priests mediate for God.
How can you use your royal priesthood for the advancement of God’s kingdom? Prayerfully develop your professional platform. Mold your culture after the gospel of Christ through excellent work, collaboration, and compassion. Maybe you engage insiders in the faith and outsiders in Bible study, prayer, or fun outings. It may mean becoming more involved in your children’s education to have increased influence over their spiritual and material roles in the world. Invite friends to church so they can learn how to have a friend in Jesus. A royal priesthood governs with grace.
How can I better govern my life for God? With whom can I share the gospel of Jesus?

The book of Revelation is all about Jesus Christ—His salvation, His faithfulness, His judgment, His heaven, and His second coming. John shared Jesus's hope with us, so we can wait for His return in a celebration of joyful anticipation! Revelation shows us our Savior in His regal power so we can worship Him, trust Him, and love Him, obey him, and rest in Him.
