Priests in the Kingdom

Revelation 1:6 (NIV)
6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father--to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

Jesus has not only saved us, but has changed us, elevating all who believe into priesthood of the kingdom of God. We serve God, Who has become our God and our Father, for we have become brothers and sisters in Christ. Through the gift of God we are cleansed from sin and lifted equally before God. No person is above another and no person is below another.

The kingdom is expressed in love: in the love we receive and in the love we give. We can only share of what we have. As we seek to fill our cup, it can then overflow to others. This is the kingdom in motion, the ever flowing living water of life.

We, as the priests of this kingdom, serve as expressions of that love. Doing this we proclaim the glory of God and demonstrate His power.

So it is, so shall it be

Just want to let you know about these new Blogger templates. They look great and you might like to try it on your blog.

There are many selections you can try and you can use your own header image. They're much easier to customize than other templates.
