I heard an interesting idea the other day. Jesus came healing and casting out devils for all who came to Him. It was pointed out that a priest could not have a defect. Jesus was preparing the nation to be a kingdom of priests.
Your thoughts?
Much love!
But surely the New Testament refers to Christians, not a nation (either the Jewish nation or any other) being kings and priests:
(Rev 1:4) John,
to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,
(Rev 1:5) and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
(Rev 1:6)
and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
