A Kingdom of Priests

你們要作我自己的珍寶，
超乎萬民之上；
你們要作我自己的珍寶，
因全地都屬我。
你們要歸我為
祭司的國度，
為聖別的國民；
歸我為祭司國度
祂又使我們成國度
作神與父的祭司；
願榮耀權能歸與祂，
直到永永遠遠，阿們。

Oh Lord, make me your personal treasure, to serve you in the Church which is Your holy temple, for Your return.

Amen.

I didn't quite understand the significance of this hymn until my companion and I read this book "New Believer's Series (23) — The Priesthood" by brother Watchman Nee.

Knowing that it is God's heart's desire to make ALL the children of God His priests, who can directly contact Him and serve Him. What a privilege that we're qualified to serve Him! It is nothing to do with our own qualification but with Him who shows mercy. Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord! We are the Lord's personal treasure. We are so small, but we have value because of the Lord. We are treasured by God! This is so encouraging, so comforting, so amazing...

the should do prayer too

love one another

Praise You Lord that we are Your personal treasure!

Your personal treasure... Wow.

Thank You Lord Jesus, You have always loved me & You will never stop loving me. I love You precious Jesus.

To Him be the glory and might forever and ever. AMEN!!

That’s beautiful. Thank You, Lord, forsaking us Your personal treasure, a kingdom of priests, a holy nation. Abba Father, we love You.
