“Royalty in Our Veins”“For you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, a people belonging to God …” I Peter 2:9
There is a certain fascination withroyalty. One recent example is theDiamond Jubilee celebration of Britain’sQueen Elizabeth II. Her accession tothe throne came at the young age of 26with the untimely death of her father,King George VI on February 6, l952.Her coronation was held on June 2,l953 in Westminster Abbey, London.And for the first time, the ceremony wasbroadcast on television. Some of usremember watching her coronation onour black and white television sets at atime when television was in its infancy.
I have some words of faith and hopefor all believers in Jesus Christ. Royaltyruns in our veins. Jesus said, “… thekingdom of God is within you” (Luke17:21). Inasmuch as we allow Christ tolive in us, it can be said the kingdom ofGod dwells in us. We are part of thatroyal priesthood Peter talked about in IPeter 2:9. They were words ofencouragement for believers underRoman persecution. It was a reminderthat believers in Christ are citizens oftwo worlds, heaven and earth (I Peter2:11).
If we truly believe we are children ofroyalty, how can we ever suffer from lowself-esteem? As royal priests, we arecalled to represent Christ to others …to love as Christ loves … to forgive asChrist forgives … to serve others in Hisholy and royal name.
Prayer: Dear Lord, help us toremember that with privilege comesresponsibility. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Peace to you and please join us forworship this Sunday in a church whereJesus’ love is lived.Rev. Dan Minor, Pastoral friend & colleagueof Rev. Joe Shaler
