The Crown On The Priest

The Crown On The Priest…

In the Old Covenant, according to the law, a king could not be priest and a priest could not be king. Then God tells Zechariah in 6:11, “Take silver and gold, make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the high priest.”

Although this seemed to be breaking the law, in reality it was a prophetic act. The Lord said, “this is a sign of the man who will be called the Branch.” That’s Jesus! He is going to be Priest and King at the same time. He is going to build the temple of the Lord forever.

So that means, when Jesus comes, there has to be a New Covenant, because it would be against the law in the Old Covenant. Jesus is of the royal house of Judah and is the High Priest of the New Covenant.

A crown on the head of a high priest. A sign that in God all things are new in Jesus. You are a new creation, not bound by the past. You are free in the power of Jesus, who is both your King and High Priest.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:17-19

Today, take new steps of action in the power of newness in Jesus. Make newness, new actions, and new steps a part of your everyday life.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
