Eyes Wide Open...a book by Jud Wilhite

Recently I was given the opportunity to read and review a book. It was an extraordinary book! I am so happy I got to read it. For the entire review and links to purchase the book go to www.nebraskafillemans.blogspot.com. Anyway, in one chapter he spoke of us all being priests. The Bible tells us that each of us is a priest as a Christian. In Revelation, John wrote "He has bade us a KINGDOM OF PRIESTS for God his Father." Whether you work at a hotel, manage a bookstore, stock shelves at a supermarket, lead a law firm, manage a medical practice, whatever...the same this is true. If you're a Christ follower, then you're a priest. As you realize this, your life will take on new meaning. A simple task at work is suddenly infused with purpose becasue you are representing God in all you do. A conversation takes on greater depth becasue you understand your role in helping to reconcile others to God.

We are ALL priests if we are a Christian, and we should always act like that. People are watching us...seeing what the "Christian's" will do...seeing how we will handle situations, etc. We need to be sure to handle everything in a Christ like manner. We are more than just children of God, we are representing His great Kingdom.

Thank you Julia and Sergey for going out daily and sharing the Good News! You are such a blessing!
