If the priest buys a person with his money, he may eat it; and one who is born in his house may eat his food.
~ Leviticus 22:11
"Strangers, sojourners, and servants were not to eat of holy things. But two classes were free at the sacred table, those who were bought with the priest's money, and those who were born into the priest's house. These were the two indisputable proofs of a right to holy things.
Bought. Our great High Priest has bought with a price all those who put their trust in Him. They are His absolute property and "they may eat his food." Because you belong to Christ, you will share with your Lord.
Born. If born in the Priest's house, we take our place with the rest of the family. Regeneration makes us fellow heirs, and of the same body; and, therefore, the peace, joy, and glory, which the Father has given to Christ, Christ has given to us. Redemption and regeneration have given us a double claim to the divine permit of this promise." (Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Don't you just love Jesus for paying the ultimate price, so that we might have eternal life. I love My Heavenly Father for allowing His Son to pay the ultimate price, so that my soul doesn't die when I die. That my soul will live on in Heaven forever. Thank You God, for that ultimate sacrifice You had made for everyone of Your children,
