What Is A Priest?

In this exploration of priesthood, we journey through the rich tapestry of biblical history, examining the faces and functions of priests from Aaron to Ezra. The central message revolves around Hebrews 5:1-10, which unveils the profound truth that Christ is our ultimate High Priest. As we consider the human frailties of past priests, we're reminded of our own weaknesses and the incredible grace of God. The parallels drawn between earthly priests and Jesus highlight His unique role as both fully human and divine, able to sympathize with our struggles yet perfectly represent us before God. This message challenges us to reflect on our direct access to God through Christ, transforming our understanding of worship and our relationship with the Divine. As believers, we're called to embrace our identity as a 'royal priesthood,' offering our lives as living sacrifices and approaching God's throne with confidence.
