Revelation 1: 5 and of Jesus Christ, "the Faithful Witness," "The firstborn from the dead," and "The Ruler of the kings of the earth." He who loves us and who unleashed us from our sins through his own blood 6 and made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, yes, to him be glory and power forever. Amen. Our beloved Jesus Christ, who testifies before the father of our salvation and who rules over all kingdom and power, to him be glory now and forever, love. By his grace and love he forgave us all our sins and has thrown them deep into the sea so that no one can accuse us and he promises never to remember them.
In washing with his blood he made us part of his kingdom, and gave us the position of priests of the living God Jehovah of armies, so he has given you the title of ambassador and representatives of the kingdom of God, for that reason we have to testify with our life that we are truly faithful representatives of the kingdom of God.
Punishment of the sons of Aaron.
Leviticus 10: 1 And Aaron's sons took: Nadab and Abihu, each his brazier; they put fire on them and threw timiama on them; and they offered to the Lord another's fire, the one who had not sent them Lord. 2 And fire came out from before the Lord and devote them and died before the Lord. Disobedience is paid with death, and today with eternal death, these two priests were evil in God's eyes, doing what he had not commanded them. Remember that God is love, but it is also consuming fire, for disobeying God died.
Through the years God has sought priests to worship him, to worship him in spirit and truth. But in one way or another we have all failed, but it is time to live in the manner of Jesus Christ, we will only achieve it by humbling ourselves, obeying and subjecting ourselves to the commandments of our God, there are two most important ones, to love God and our neighbor. We must strive not to live and be found like Joshua, but we must humble ourselves and thank God for the blood of Jesus who forgives us, cleanses and restores us from all sin.
Zechariah 3: (1-3) In another dream I saw Joshua standing before the angel of God. Joshua was the chief priest, and there was sin; That is why in the dream his priestly clothes were not clean. The accusing angel was on Joshua's right, willing to accuse him before God, but the angel of God said to him: Accusing angel, if God should punish someone, it is you. Just as God has chosen the city of Jerusalem, this man has also delivered him from punishment. 4 Immediately, the angel of God spoke with his assistants and ordered them to take away Joshua's dirty clothes. To Joshua he said: Take into account that I have already forgiven your sins. That's why I'm going to dress you in clean clothes now. 5 While the angel of God was still standing there, he ordered the helpers to also put a clean turban on Joshua's head, and they did so. We have to humble ourselves before God asking for mercy and begging for his forgiveness and to help us, and not find us in this condition, now we are priests and ambassadors of the kingdom of God. In the case of Joshua Satan was ready to accuse him of his sin, but the grace, mercy and love of Jesus Christ redeemed him, Jehovah rebuke Satan.
Jesus Christ took away his dirty heart full of sin and gave him a clean new one, and also put new thoughts and dreams in his head to honor God.
1st Samuel 2:11 After this, Elcaná and his family returned home to Ramah, while the boy Samuel stayed with the priest Eli to serve God. 12 Eli's children were very bad and did not respect or obey God. They did terrible things with the offerings that people took to the sanctuary. Take care to be a good priest of God, or God can change you for one who is willing to pay the price of salvation and always honor him, the sons of the priest and priest of the living God Jehovah of armies were very bad and dishonored our Holy God, one for not rebuking and correcting them, and the others for evil. God at that time was determined to replace these priests but still did not have his replacement, but one day a barren woman named Anna, came troubled from the heart and made a promise to God.
1st Samuel 1:10 Ana was so sad that she kept crying. That is why he prayed to God 11 and made this promise: Almighty God, I am your humble servant. Look how sad I am. Realize how much I suffer; do not forget me. If you give me a child, I will give it to you so that it will only serve you every day of your life. As proof that it belongs to you, your hair will never be cut. It is surprising how God was upset with the way of life of the priests sons of Eli, and when he looks at the heart of this woman, he thinks if from his youth this child is raised in the fear of Jehovah he will be a good priest, if he I make myself serve as I want and obey me in everything; He will be a good priest, and Samuel was a Priest, Prophet and Judge of Israel. And I listen to the voice of God from a young age and let it guide and teach him to honor him in everything. That is why the word of God says: Instruct the child in his way, and even when he is old he will not depart from him. Samuel as a child was instructed and prepared to exercise the priesthood, your call may have started when he grew up, it was not by inheritance as some, nor were you dedicated to God as Samuel, but God himself called you to serve as a priest, so honor him with your life.
When Jesus was on earth he found: This is a great truth today, it is the harsh reality, but God speaks to us on time and out of time, so that we learn to honor him and only him. We must feed his people, we have to be light in the midst of this world; full of darkness and evil.
