Now today we come to the description of our Lord Jesus Christ. After all, He is the One who is the main character of all of human history. He is the One who is the main character of this book and yet we see something quite extraordinary here right next to Him in verse 6. It is a description of us who believe in Him. “He has made us kings and priests to His God and Father.” And this placement of ourselves right next to Him is no accident. Because everything that Jesus Christ is and all that he is doing is described in relation to those whom He loved. His church is very dear to His heart. And so we will find that often in this book you will not only find the battles between the kingdoms of darkness and light, but you also find the love between Christ and His church being described. This is the beginning of that description. Jesus Christ is described for us here as the One who, because He has been faithful in life and has overcome death, is showing us His power to wash us and cleanse us from sin, and to make us kings and priests to His Father. It is evident that to Him belongs all the glory for anything that we do with our lives. Why should all the glory for what we become or do as Christians be ascribed and given to the Lord Jesus Christ? Well I think that there are 4 reasons why you and I should ascribe all the glory to the Lord Jesus for anything that we become or anything that we do as a Christian.
