Numbers 1-6: A Priestly Blessing


“The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.”  - Num. 6:24-26 NIV

What would life be like if we blessed our brothers in Christ with this blessing.  After all, we all are priests.  And, even more so, what would happen if we blessed our enemies with these thoughts.  Have we ever thought of asking God to keep our enemies safe?  Have we ever asked God to give our enemies peace?  Could that be what Jesus meant when he told us to love our enemies?  Did he mean for us to bless them?  Did he mean for us to love them into the kingdom?  Did he mean for us to make this priestly blessing our own?
