The writer of Hebrews commands us to "consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our CONFESSION." But we should also consider Peter's declaration in 1 Peter 2:5,9 that we are a "royal priesthood." The two go hand-in-hand; however, not may Christian leaders combine the two. Jesus is our example and we are to be conformed to His image. That definitely includes God's royal priesthood.
