Priests and Kings (Melanie Watson)


Listen Later

Summary

Part 2 of Worthy is the Lamb series (Rev. 5:9-10). Exploring our role as Priest and King in living out the victory of the Lamb so that we may both serve our God and reign on the earth.


Takeaways

  • The role of priest and king embraces the dichotomy of serving and reigning.
  • Consecration without freedom is legalism. Freedom without consecration is self-worship.
  • True freedom in Christ, as demonstrated from the life of Jesus, comes from submission to God's will.
  • Volitional license is the attempt to reign without serving.
  • Virtue signaling is the appearance of serving without the cost.
  • Victim worship says my wounds are more worthy than the wounds of the Lamb.
  • Our victory is not the absence of pain and injustice. It is the overcoming of those things. We surrender our pain and injustice to the Lamb who was slain and walk in the authority of the Lion who has overcome.
