Old Testament Reading - A faithful priesthood

thumb

4Then at last you will know it was I who sent you this warning to return to the laws I gave your father Levi,” says the Lord Almighty. 5“The purpose of these laws was to give him life and peace, to be a means of showing his respect and awe for me by keeping them. 6He passed on to the people all the truth he got from me. He did not lie or cheat; he walked with me, living a good and righteous life, and turned many from their lives of sin.

7“Priests’ lips should flow with the knowledge of God so the people will learn God’s laws. The priests are the messengers of the Lord Almighty, and men should come to them for guidance.

. . . . . Malachi 2:4-7

Christ gave them as a light to the nations,*
that Christ’s salvation might reach to the ends of the earth.
