天国的祭司
耶稣现在在天上，坐在天父的右边。耶稣是“从死里首先复活，为世上君王元首”的。耶稣俯瞰祂地上的国度，如同天上的国度。
是耶稣爱了我们，释放了我们。是耶稣告诉我们，天国近了。是耶稣告诉我们天国就在这里！也是耶稣赐给我们天国，并使我们成为天国的祭司。
祭司是什么？祭司就是神与人之间的中保。祭司住在神和人中间：在人面前代表神，在神面前代表人。这就是我们在这地上的角色。我们是把人引荐给神的媒人，并且要帮助人在与神的关系中成长。
让我们以耶稣——我们的中保，教给我们的祷告来结束吧，并且来思想我们该如何与他人分享耶稣。
我们在天上的父，愿人都遵你的名为圣。愿你的国降临，愿你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。 我们日用的饮食，今日赐给我们。 免我们的债，如同我们免了人的债。 不叫我们遇见试探，救我们脱离凶恶。 因为国度、权柄、荣耀全是你的，直到永远。阿们！
启示录 1:4-7
4 约翰写信给亚细亚的七个教会。但愿从那昔在、今在、以后永在的神和他宝座前的七灵，
5 并那诚实作见证的、从死里首先复活、为世上君王元首的耶稣基督，有恩惠、平安归于你们！他爱我们，用自己的血使我们脱离罪恶，
6 又使我们成为国民，做他父神的祭司。但愿荣耀、权能归给他，直到永永远远！阿们。
7 看哪，他驾云降临，众目要看见他，连刺他的人也要看见他，地上的万族都要因他哀哭。这话是真实的，阿们。
A Kingdom And Priests
[Jesus Christ] has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. — Revelation 1:6
Jesus now sits at the right hand of God the Father in heaven. Jesus is “the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth.” Jesus oversees his kingdom on earth, as it is in heaven.
It is Jesus who loves us and frees us. It is Jesus who tells us that the kingdom of heaven is near. It is Jesus who tells us it is here! And it is Jesus who gives us the kingdom and makes us priests within it.
What is a priest? A priest is a mediator between others and God. Priests live between God and humanity: representing God to humanity, and representing humanity to God. That is our role in the kingdom here on earth. We are go-betweens who can introduce other people to God and help them grow in their relationship with God.
Let’s close with this prayer that Jesus, our Mediator, taught us, and think about how we can share Jesus with others.
Our Father in heaven, worthy and holy is your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day what we need for today. Forgive us our faults and sins, as we forgive those of others.
Let us not stray from you, but keep us from temptations and all the deceptions of the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom, on earth and in heaven, and yours is the power and the glory forever. Amen!
