Jesus Christ has made us Kings and Priests to His God and Father (Rev 1:5-6). What an amazing statement that is made here about forgiven sinners like you and I, but what a great truth it is which is often completely overlooked. And yet as we continue to look into His Word, we find even more that we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light(1 Peter 9:10).
In 2 Cor 5:20,21 we see Paul stating that we are ambassadors for Christ with a function - God pleading through us, asking people to be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ.
Pleading, proclaiming, reigning, interceding - how can we do that without becoming proud? Be like our Master Jesus (Phil 2:5-8; Luke 22:25-30). As a servant, we function in the role of kings, priests, and ambassadors. We are to be reigning, proclaiming, pleading and interceding and all for the Father’s glory and the extension of His Kingdom rule upon the earth.
With much love,
