How about this then?
God is no respecter of persons.(Acts 10:34) Peter himself said this.
or
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ
the scripture context begins, continues and ends with JESUS as the Rock, the Head, the Christ. no man can assume that position. We are the body. I am a priest. If you are a part of the body YOU are a priest. A holy nation. No one man assumes lordship of us on this earth, praise God.
May God bless. |
