“…for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.” 1Pt2.9 NLT
Some of my friends in the ministry wear clerical collars to identify them as a minister or priest. Yet, the powerful description above tells us that every Christian is a royal priest, for each of us serve King Jesus. And, it is not so much clerical collars which identify us as His priests but our expressions of goodness when we love and serve others. A priest then, may wear, tennis shoes, jogging shorts, ball caps, blue jeans, in truth, whatever you are wearing this moment, for if Christ has entered your heart, then you are His priest in this place, His light in this world. Goodness is the true clothing of a good priest. Let us dress ourselves in it.
