Things of the Bible


Priests



In any religion a priest is a kind of “middleman” between the people and God (or gods). Priests of various religions are mentioned in the Bible.

Aaron, Moses’ brother, was Israel’s first high priest, and the priestly garments are described in Exodus 28–29 and Leviticus 8. Israel’s priesthood was connected with the Levites, Moses and Aaron’s tribe.

In the tabernacle and, later, at the temple in Jerusalem, the priests performed sacrifices and, on behalf of the people, confessed sin and thus reconciled God to His people.

In the New Testament, most of the priests were religious officials with no deep spirituality, and they worked to have Jesus executed.

Christians began to believe that not only was Jesus the final sacrifice for man’s sin (the “Lamb of God”) but also the ultimate Priest, making man right with God.

The letter to the Hebrews states this theme clearly (Heb. 7–10). The old system of sacrifices and priests is no longer needed. After the Jews’ temple was destroyed by the Romans in A.D. 70, the Jewish priesthood ended.



Trust in Him No matter what you are going through in life, you can trust God to be with you.

Some Positive Thing We Can Look at or Talk

Joyce Meyer
I once read a book that was based entirely on the word. He taught the reader to take each problem in his life, look at it honestly and then say “however,” and find something compensating positive in the individual's life that would put the problem into perspective.
The Bible makes it clear that we need to love each other as God loves us.

Learning the Love Languages

Gary Chapman
Many couples earnestly love each other but do not communicate their love in an effective way. If you don’t speak your spouse’s primary love language, he or she may not feel loved, even when you are showing love in other ways.
Why is it important to understand the distinction of the Spirit? Because He’s the one to whom we relate.

The Voice of the Spirit Within Us

Chris Tiegreen
We don’t understand the mysteries of the relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit, but we do know each has a distinct role in our lives. When Jesus tells His disciples about the work of the Spirit, He explains that the Spirit will hear from Jesus Himself, who in turn has heard from the Father.
If you already know the joy of Jesus, pray now for those who don’t yet understand that God wants them to invite his Son into their hearts.

Humbly Choosing God

Katie Brazelton
I’m convinced God will do anything for those who are meek, anything at all that’s in their best interest. When we humbly understand who we are in relation to him, our lives begin to make sense with a newfound confidence in him, his power, and his ways.
If you pursue anything in the spiritual realm, pursue a perfect balance of truth and love.

Truth and Love

John MacArthur
The apostle John was always committed to truth, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that, but it is not enough. Zeal for the truth must be balanced by love for people.
