I knew we were heirs, but kings and priests too???


Once again here is why I love studying god's Word.  The Holy Spirit is always bringing something to my attention that I have read many times before but had never noticed.  This is especially true in Revelation because it is so cryptic.  Here is one from today.  

Revelation 1:5-6(NKJV)
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, 
and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

I think we are all familiar with the references in the New Testament that we are heirs with Christ.  I had never noticed this Scripture before.  It says that Jesus has made us "kings and priests to His God and Father".  That's pretty cool!

A great word picture to remind us that as Christians we don't need to walk around felling defeated.  We are kings (queens) and priests of God's!
