Kingdom Of Priests

1.  Who is a priest?

• Exodus 28:41
• “minister to Me as priest” is to mediate between God and man, God and His people
• The purpose of ministering as priest is to be a facilitator for the works of God in the life of man to take place

2.  I shall be their God, they shall be My people

• The ultimate objective of ministering as priest is to disciple, it is more than involving in the act of worship – Exodus 29:44-46
• Discipleship is growing in the knowledge and worship of God and bringing people close to God and have intimate relationship with God

3.  Priesthood of all believers

• 1 Peter 2:9-10
• In order to be priest of the Lord, we must first be sanctified
• The word of God sanctifies us, cleanses us from all impurities and sins, keeps us within the will of God – Ephesians 5:26-27
• We cannot lead others to when we do not know the way, we cannot point others to the light if we have not found it
• We are “priests” in our family, marketplace, church, community, schools and wherever God places in this world, proclaiming Christ and reflecting His glory

 

 

祭司的国度

1.     谁是祭司？

• 出埃及记28：41

• “好给我供祭司的职分”乃是在神与人之间，神与他子民之间做中保

• 成为祭司来服侍的目的乃是成为一位促进员，让神在人的生命里成就神要做的工

2.     我要作他们的神，他们要作我的子民

• 成为祭司来服侍的最终目的不单是参与敬拜，而是栽培门徒 – 出埃及记29：44-46

• 门徒训练就是在对神的认识和敬拜上成长，并且带领人更加亲近神以及跟神有密切的关系

3.     所有信徒的圣职

• 彼得前书2：9-10

• 若要成为主的祭司，我们必须先得到洁净

• 神的话语洁净我们，洗净我们一切的不洁和罪恶，让我们保持在神的旨意中 – 以弗所书5：26-27

• 若不晓得道路，我们就无法带领其他人行走；若未找到亮光我们也无法指引其他人

• 我们乃是在家中、职场上、教会、社区上、学校或其他被神置放的地方身为“祭司”，宣告基督并反映出他的荣光
