In the Old Covenant, according to the law, a king could not be priest and a priest could not be king. Then God tells Zechariah in 6:11, "Take silver and gold, make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the high priest." Although this seemed to be breaking the law, in reality it was a prophetic act. The Lord said, "this is a sign of the man who will be called the Branch." That's Messiah! He is going to be Priest and King at the same time. He is going to build the temple of the Lord forever. So that means, when Messiah comes, there has to be a New Covenant, because it would be against the law in the Old Covenant. Messiah is of the royal house of Judah and is the High Priest of the New Covenant. A crown on the head of a high priest. A sign that in God all things are new in Messiah. You are a new creation, not bound by the past. You are free in the power of Messiah, who is both your King and High Priest.
From Message #1301 - The Melchizedek Mystery
Today, take new steps of action in the power of newness in Messiah. Make newness, new actions, and new steps a part of your everyday life.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 | Zechariah 6:11
