Are your pastors arrogant men? Do they lift themselves up in their godliness, or tout their righteousness? Those who are filled with such characteristics might be earthly kings, great scholars, or mighty men, but they are not high priests because there are two traits that none have except a pastor. To be called by God to His service, and to reflect Christ.

You are a professed Christian, and yet you are still nervous about entering into the presence of God? Do all of the sins in your life come flooding back, and beads of sweat pop out on your forehead at just the thought of meeting with the God of the Universe? This was the kind of concern the Jews who served in the temple had, and so much so that those who were tasked to go into the Holy of Holies would have a rope tied around them... in case they were struck dead and their body had to be recovered. Yet we are not to fear because we are cleansed in the blood of Christ; the perfect sacrifice... the lamb of God. So why are you nervous?
