Today's Word of Encouragement from Wayne:
"Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession"
Hebrews 3:1
Certainly one of the greatest aspects and benefits of our having been loved, released "from our sins by His blood," and made "to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father" (as we are told in Revelation 1:5-6), is that Jesus Christ, Himself, is the High Priest of this "royal priesthood" (1 Peter 2:9). So, when you say yes to God’s love, salvation, and His making us to be a kingdom of priests, accepting the mantle of your priesthood to minister to the Lord in His presence, this truly becomes the key that unlocks the door to your own interest in and understanding of Jesus Christ as our High Priest.

As a member of this kingdom of priests unto the Lord, you certainly want to know the meaning of Jesus Christ as the "High Priest of our confession" and, as a minister to the Lord, you are graced to see, receive and be transformed by the truth of Jesus Christ, the "High Priest of our confession." Hallelujah!
