YT Description/Post
📣 Did you know that Christians are considered priests? 🤔
In 1 Peter 2:9, the Bible calls Christians a “royal priesthood”. But what does that mean, and why is it important? As with many other Old Testament symbols, priests weren’t just religious leaders, they symbolised far greater truths that still impact us today. Namely, only by fully appreciating their role can we understand Jesus as our Great High Priest, and ourselves as priests in God’s service. Join us as we unpack the office of a priest (Exodus), it’s ultimate fulfilment in Christ (Hebrews), and how you and I are called to reflect this holy office in our daily lives (Romans). This is your sacred calling explained in a way you might not have heard before.
