The Priesthood
.
Os Believers
By JACK ARNOLD
Pastor, Pembroke Methoedist
Church
“Ye also . . . are built up a
spiritual house, a holy priesthood,
to offer up spiritual sacrifices, ac
ceptable to God by Jesus Christ.”
I Peter 2:5.
Religion through the ages has
always been surrounded by many
myths and false conceptions. This
is true not onlly in pagan religions,
but in Judaism and Christianity
as well. One of these myths is
peculiar to praetically all religiom‘
known to man. This myth, or false
conception, is that the priest, or
clergyman, is alone qualified to
handle the words and actions es
the religion,
The failure of Judaism in Old
Testament days stems from the
popularly held idea that the
priests were some sort of special
creation who were not quite God
and yet more than man. They
were a group detached from life
and people. Therefore they made
the religion which they managed
detached from the people. It would
have been u heresy for a priest to
take the faith down into the
streets. To suggest that God could
deal with people in their homes
or businesses without the presence
of a priest would be to bring down
wrath upon oneself. God dwelt
only in the temple and so the peo
ple would have to come to Him. So
the people felt that if Ged was
interested only in the acts of wor
ship in the temple, then their com
mon, day-to-day existence must not
matter to Him,
Under such conditions, no mat
ter how personal this God might
seem to the priests, He was not
personal to the people. And so
the people strayed from the true
God and His ways because that
which was not personal to them
could not be very important to
them.
Then Jesus came teaching such
queer things as “the very hairs
of your head are numbered.”
Jesus, even though He was not a
priest, approached God with the
needs of the people. These people
began to feel that God knew about
them and concerned Himself about
them. As Jesus healed them, He
was careful to let them know that
it was the will of an interested
God by which they were healed.
Jesus called common men about
Him—not Levites and priests nor
rabbis—but fishermen, tax ecollec
tors and laborers. He ordained
these laymen to perform certain
tasks that once could only be done
by a religious professional. He
taught them to pray. He taught
them how to win to God people
whose lives were wrapped up in
¢in. These laymen were the first
Christians,
The portion of Seripture quoted
above iz from one of the Letters
of Peter. This letter is known as
a general epistle. In other wotds
it was meant to be read by all
people. This is important. It is
written to all and it says to all
that “Ye . . . are a holy priest
hood.” No longer is religion and
worship in the exclusive hands of
the priests, All believers in God
are priests. A part of the believ
ers’ responsibilities is to recognize
this and affirm this in their spiirt
ual lives.
The Jewish priests offered sacri
fices for the people. That was
their primary duty. Now Peter
tells the world that a person
doesn’t need a mediator to offer
his sacrifices; he can offer them
himself. This was always true,
but few realized it. And Peter af
firms what the prophets tried to
get over, that animal sacrifices
were not pleasing to God when
there was no spiritual offering in
volved. So the sacrifices the be
lievers are to offer are spiritual
anes,
What are spiritual sacrifices?
Any act, thought or word which
serves to humble man before his
creator is a spiritual sacrifice.
Jesus on the Cross humbled Him
self while exalting the will of God.
A man today who has a talent to
speak, yet a shyness about speak
ing for God, offers a spiritual
sacrifice when He witnesses to the
power of God. People who parti-

cipate physically and mentally in
worship services are acknowledg
ing their own eed for strength to
face life while exalting God as the
One able to supply that strength.
Our worship is designed that peo
ple when they are sincere may
offer spiritual sacrifice. When a
church puts the emphasis upon the
individual people to serve as teach
ers, speakers, administrators, and
officers, these people make the
spiritual saerifice of putting God
ahead of themselves.
Finally, in God’s eyes, the wor
ship which puts ceremony and
polish behind its eoncern for indi
viduals is the worship that is ac
ceptable to God. He opened the
doors of understanding when He
gent Jesus and His Disciples to
teach us about the believers' re
gponsibilities to their religion. By
calling all believers priests, He
gives all a place to fill in his
church according to individual eap
abilities,
