With this message, we end the priesthood series. Actually, there is more to explore, but it remains for other lessons. Mankind was created in the image and likeness of God, having been formed of one man made of the dust of the earth. After the fall of Adam, the Lord did not give up His dreams and promised the coming of His Son, who paid the price of our redemption on the cross of Calvary. Now we are free!
As our Creator, the Lord has a wise, complete and good mind, and therefore deserves our full respect. We would be nothing if He had not planned us. When Adam fell into transgression, the Most High provided a lawful means of taking us from the hands of the devil, leading us to experience perfect freedom.
This is the question posed by the prophet: “If God is the Father of all, why should we be disloyal to one another?” After all, we came from Him whose character is beyond reproach, never lied or did anything bad. His work is perfect! Therefore, we must love people without any distinction – skin color, financial situation, etc. – because they all have great potential before the Lord.
The Lord’s dream for each of us is different, but that does not mean that He planned for me something greater and for you something smaller. If we love Him, we must be friends with everyone, because we are brothers. Good people cannot be carried away by the enemy; otherwise they will be considered the most rebellious of all creation. God made us for peace, love and joy, not for hatred.
The Lord’s covenant with Abraham and his seed – which is Jesus – was passed to us. We now hold the promises, having the right to live free from the forces of evil. Wake up! You are the result of complete planning to live here at the highest level. However, do not explore your fellow man or turn your back on anyone in need. Watch and pray! Do not lose your faith!
When we love our fellowmen, we please our Creator. But as we become enemies of someone, the heart of the Lord grieves. In the Name of Jesus, do what you can do for a person who is “in the red” with God and society. This will greatly gladden the Father’s heart, which will reward him in the judgment. Those who serve Him are lacking nothing. Hallelujah!
From today, look for opportunities to talk about Jesus to the afflicted and those who get lost in the mishaps of life. When it comes to who our brother is in Christ, it is our obligation to do for him what we would do for us.
In Christ, with love,

God of the New Covenant! We cannot close our eyes to the suffering, for You have made us equal in Christ, members of the same Body and able to do good to those in need. Teach us to be good to others.
The Levitical Covenant was good, but the New is much better because, having been made in higher promises, we can only say yes to the touch of Your Spirit. So we will look at who needs help. May we not close our hands on anyone!
We want to be used by You to relieve or destroy someone's suffering. Tell us what we have to do to lift the oppressed. Your love has made us understand that love is more than talk, but to do your work. Amen!
