Verse of the Week
9 “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
~ I Peter 2:9-10
1. In the Old Testament, God establishes the Levites as the priests to the Israelites.
Deuteronomy 18:1-2 – “The Levitical priests — indeed, the whole tribe of Levi — are to have no allotment or inheritance with Israel. They shall live on the food offerings presented to the Lord, for that is their inheritance. They shall have no inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the Lord is their inheritance, as he promised them.”
Isaiah 61:6 – “And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God.”
Leviticus 21:5-8 – “Priests must not shave their heads or shave off the edges of their beards or cut their bodies. They must be holy to their God and must not profane the name of their God. Because they present the food offerings to the Lord, the food of their God, they are to be holy. They must not marry women defiled by prostitution or divorced from their husbands, because priests are holy to their God. Regard them as holy, because they offer up the food of your God. Consider them holy, because I the Lord am holy — I who make you holy.”
2. In the New Testament, God chose us to be a royal priesthood.
I Peter 2:9-10 – “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
Revelation 1:6 – “To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father — to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.”
Revelation 20:6 – “Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.”
Hebrews 8:10-12 – “This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord, because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.’”
Romans 15:16 – “To be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles… He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.”

9 Mas vosotros sois linaje escogido, real sacerdocio, nación santa, posesión especial de Dios, para
podéis declarar las alabanzas de aquel que os llamó de las tinieblas a su luz maravillosa. 10 once
no erais pueblo, pero ahora sois pueblo de Dios; una vez no habías recibido misericordia, pero
ahora has recibido misericordia”.
~ 1 Pedro 2:9-10
1. En el Antiguo Testamento, Dios establece a los levitas como sacerdotes de los israelitas.
Deuteronomio 18:1-2 – “Los sacerdotes levitas (de hecho, toda la tribu de Leví) no tendrán parte ni herencia con Israel. Vivirán de las ofrendas presentadas al Señor, porque esa es su herencia. No tendrán herencia entre sus hermanos israelitas; el Señor es su herencia, como les prometió.”
Isaías 61:6 – “Y seréis llamados sacerdotes de Jehová, seréis nombrados ministros de nuestro Dios.”
Levítico 21:5-8 – “Los sacerdotes no se afeitarán la cabeza, ni se afeitarán los bordes de la barba, ni se cortarán el cuerpo. Deben ser santos para su Dios y no profanar el nombre de su Dios. Por cuanto presentan las ofrendas de alimento al Señor, el alimento de su Dios, deben ser santos. No deben casarse con mujeres contaminadas por la prostitución o divorciadas de sus maridos, porque los sacerdotes son santos para su Dios. Consideradlos santos, porque ofrecen el alimento de vuestro Dios. Consideradlos santos, porque santo soy yo, el Señor, que os santifico.”
2. En el Nuevo Testamento, Dios nos escogió para ser real sacerdocio.
1 Pedro 2:9-10 – “Mas vosotros sois linaje escogido, real sacerdocio, nación santa, posesión especial de Dios, para que anunciéis las virtudes de aquel que os llamó de las tinieblas a su luz admirable. En otro tiempo no erais pueblo, pero ahora sois pueblo de Dios; Antes no habíais recibido misericordia, pero ahora la habéis recibido.”
Apocalipsis 1:6 – “Al que nos ama y nos libró de nuestros pecados con su sangre, y nos hizo reino y sacerdotes para servir a su Dios y Padre, a él sea la gloria y el poder por los siglos de los siglos! Amén."
Apocalipsis 20:6 – “Bienaventurados y santos los que participan en la primera resurrección. La muerte segunda no tiene poder sobre ellos, sino que serán sacerdotes de Dios y de Cristo y reinarán con él por mil años.”
Hebreos 8:10-12 – “Este es el pacto que estableceré con el pueblo de Israel después de aquel tiempo, declara el Señor. Pondré mis leyes en sus mentes y las escribiré en sus corazones. Yo seré su Dios y ellos serán mi pueblo. Ya no enseñarán a su prójimo, ni se dirán unos a otros: "Conoce al Señor", porque todos me conocerán, desde el más pequeño hasta el más grande. Porque perdonaré sus maldades y no me acordaré más de sus pecados.’”
Romanos 15:16 – “Para ser ministro de Cristo Jesús a los gentiles… Él me dio el deber sacerdotal de proclamar el evangelio de Dios, para que los gentiles lleguen a ser una ofrenda agradable a Dios, santificada en el Espíritu Santo.”
