A Kingdom of Priests

  Then you shall be My personal treasure
From among all peoples,
Then you shall be My personal treasure
For all the earth is Mine.
  And you shall be to Me
A kingdom of priests
And a holy nation,
To Me a kingdom of priests.
  And He made us a kingdom,
Priests to His God and Father,
To Him be the glory and might
Forever and ever. Amen.
Stanza 2 can be sung as a countermelody over stanza 1.

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...
