“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Hebrews 8: 2
A Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
Each one of our souls, the bride, should attain glory upon glory through Christ.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that in us, the bride, the church, Christ should manifest as the priest forever.
Next what we are meditating upon is that in 1 Chronicles 24: 20 – 31 And the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.
Concerning Rehabiah, of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.
Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath.
Of the sons of Hebron, Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Of the sons of Uzziel, Michah; of the sons of Michah, Shamir.
The brother of Michah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah.
The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi; the son of Jaaziah, Beno.
The sons of Merari by Jaaziah were Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.
Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.
Of Kish: the son of Kish, Jerahmeel.
Also the sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses.
These also cast lots just as their brothers the sons of Aaron did, in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites. The chief fathers did just as their younger brethren.
In the above-mentioned words of God the names of the other brothers of Aaron of the tribe of Levi their names were written. When we meditate upon these words of the Lord not only the sons of Aaron even among the other brothers from the tribe of Levi the Lord to the ministry of priesthood the proper way lots were put, and we can read that they are chosen. Therefore, those who hear the voice of the Lord and obey immediately in their souls, which is the altar Christ manifests himself as the priest and this should be noted. Regarding this, Matthew 20: 20 – 28 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.
And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.”
But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to Him, “We are able.”
So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.”
And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers.
But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.
Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.
And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave—
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, we who have received salvation through Christ and are the parts of his body are all equal and our Lord Jesus Christ according to our good deeds in his glory he manifests within us, and he does not belong to the thinking of the people of the world, and this is being manifested to us in the above-mentioned verses. But his life is one and it is that life he is giving to all of us. But according to each one of our deeds he gives the reward accordingly to each one. This is because there are differences between one grace and another grace, and the word of God explains and shows this to us. That is what, in 1 Corinthians 15: 33 – 44 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”
Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?”
Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.
And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain.
But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.
All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.
It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
The above-mentioned verses God willing by his grace we will meditate tomorrow. By the words that we have been given let us examine and know ourselves and submit ourselves.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
