The Royal Priesthood....No King (or Queen) In Heaven But King Jesus...

Sunday Faith Blog - posted on Saturday.....Have a great Sabbath Day!!

For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

No King But King Jesus...in heaven or on earth...

There is no queen of heaven...there is the Royal Priesthood...
We -who are under the saving GRACE of our Lord ---are the Royal Priesthood ---not by our works but by His....
Some say that Mary -the mother of Christ- is queen --

Mary is part of the Royal Priesthood-as are all Christians saved by Grace...

Mary's genealogy fulfilled the prophesy that the Savior-Messiah- Christ must come from the line of David...
Her line traced back to Nathan-son of David and Bathsheba...
and- just think-the step father of Jesus was Joseph-Mary's husband -who also traced from the line of David through Solomon!!....That is why the long passages of the Bible outlining the ancestral lineage are so important to read--ALL of the Old Testament leads to Christ....

Was Mary chosen to bear the Messiah-yes-not by her own merit - she was a human ...but by way of the prophesies .... and by the Grace of God...

Is it not great to know that when we reach eternal rest--we will meet Mary - Joseph- and the others of the Royal Priesthood -Saved By GRACE....?!!!!!

I Peter 2:9- KJV: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priest hood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into marvellous Light:
*marvellous as spelled in the Old King James Version...

Great reminder, Carol..thanks for that!

And good to see you at Veith's blog!! I just began commenting there! Amazing about the cross that was knocked down by hurricane while they were voting to allow homosexual priests in who aren't celibate, huh?
As Pris said in an email to me when I mentioned it "Looks like God voted, too!"

Amen, there is no queen in heaven with King Jesus.

"Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen" (1 Timothy 1:17.)er

Z-I've commented there before-just didn't give my site address-when I saw yours -decided it would be OK--
and YES- I did smile at the tornado driven cross outside the ELCA church--GOD did vote!

B-some of my blog 'friends' had commentary that Mary was queen of heaven--
when we know that Christ is the God-head - who created Mary....
and all living beings....
Thank you for another verse ...
