Priest The two most important Biblical teachings on the subject of priesthood relate to all Christians. First, there is now only one high priest: jesus Christ. Under the Old Covenant, the priest with the highest God-given authority could enter the holiest part of the temple in order to make sacrifices on behalf of all the Israelites. When Jesus sacrificed himself for humanity's sins, he became our eternal high priest. Jesus is the only go-between for us with God. Second, all believers in Jesus Christ are priests who bring their worship to the very throne room of the holy one. A
priest is a minister of any religion. |
