Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in wide-eyed wonder:

“Jesus Christ, who…has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father…”
(Revelation 1:5-6)

Oh, Jesus.

The implications of this are staggering.

Your kingdom

is now mine
will never end
is worth seeking at any cost
will grow and grow until it spreads everywhere

As a priest in Your kingdom

I am greater than some of the greatest prophets of the past
I am Your messenger, called to preach Your good news
You have entrusted me with exclusive responsibilities
You have given me Your secrets to share.

Just as Yours is no ordinary kingdom

I am no ordinary priest.

I am not a priest by birth

but by rebirth.

I am not a priest because of what I have done

but because of what You did.

Now that I have received such a high and holy calling

I can never, ever, ever

look back.
