To live as a citizen of the Kingdom, we must see ourselves in light of God’s Word concerning us. We who believe in Christ have been grafted into a Story so big that the entire universe and all of time will not contain it. We are now, by faith, recipients of the Kingdom’s authority and rule, baptized by the Spirit as members into the body of Christ. We have been granted an entirely new identity with a new nature, set free from the futility of empty religion and legalism, all in order that we might represent Christ in this world as his ambassadors and agents.

Jesus went away. The disciples stood staring as he lifted off the ground and disappeared into the clouds. The Spirit of God allows the Church to be the body of Christ wherever we are. One human being would not have time to do what we do as a whole. Christ sends us into all the world, even to the ends of the earth.

God our Father, bless your people as we make disciples of all nations.

Weekly Reflection on the Priesthood of all Believers
Whatever the case, the activities of representation, peacemaking, and service (as part of a team) were integral to be both an emissary and a Hebrew priest.
