1Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
an holy nation,
a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of Him Who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light:
A Priest is one who intercedes for others before God...
The prayers to God for others is the hallmark of a Royal Priesthood...
What prayers are we, as a Royal Priesthood, to pray, and for whom?
And when and how often?
Are these prayers for some and not others?
Are they the prayers we pray for ourselves and our own families?
And while we are at it, how peculiar are we, actually?
And in what ways do our lives differ from those of non-Christians?
Arsenios
