Priest to Meet You (one)

Revelation 5:10 NKJV

Back in the (Old Testament) day, priests were the people's connection to God. They were a busy bunch, employed by God to keep the connection between Himself and His people as open and as healthy as possible. Within the temple's courts, the priests met, and ministered to, people who'd come to worship. Inside the Holy Place of the temple, priests would worship God in front of a special golden lampstand that filled the room with light (Exodus 27:20-21). Only once per year, the High Priest on his own would go behind the curtain into the place where God's presence literally resided, the 'Holy of Holies' (2 Chronicles 7:1-3 is pretty awe inspiring). That wasn't just a special room in the building, it was where the presence of God was so powerful that priests could fear for their lives.

Amazingly, God tore that very curtain in two when Jesus died for us all on the cross (yup, Matthew 27:51 says so). So we can all stand in His presence, because of Jesus. Also amazing, is that Jesus' sacrifice turns us into 'a Kingdom of priests for our God' (Rev 5:10 NLT). So God wants us to be serving people as His representatives, and He wants us to spend dedicated time filling our lives with the light of His Word (=read your Bible, and ask Him to shine light on what it means for you). Aaand, crucially, He wants us to come to Him, ask Him for His presence, and bask in the most perfect light for our lives: Him.
