honored Moses, and Elijah and showed <strong>the</strong>m his glory on <strong>the</strong> mountain. He honored Abraham<br />
and Jacob and appeared to <strong>the</strong>m and honored Stephen and showed him his heavenly glory. St.<br />
John saw <strong>the</strong> apostles and priest around <strong>the</strong> Throne (Revelation 4:14).<br />
The priests are dignified for <strong>the</strong> holiness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir life as <strong>the</strong> bishop must be above reproach (1<br />
Timothy 3:2).<br />
Conclusion:<br />
It is our duty; we <strong>the</strong> believers, to honor <strong>the</strong> priest for <strong>the</strong> sake <strong>of</strong> Christ. We must not despise<br />
<strong>the</strong>m or defame <strong>the</strong>m for <strong>the</strong>ir wrong deeds as <strong>the</strong>y are humans who are exposed to weakness<br />
and sin, so we must cover <strong>the</strong>se weakness as Shem and Japheth covered <strong>the</strong> nakedness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
fa<strong>the</strong>r Noah, so he blessed <strong>the</strong>m and cursed Ham who made fun <strong>of</strong> him. The believers should<br />
behave this way ―Judge not, that you be not judged‖.<br />
Applications:<br />
Follow up on young people concerning confession. Tell <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> difference between<br />
<strong>the</strong> confessor and <strong>the</strong> spiritual guide.<br />
Accompany young people to church and receive <strong>the</strong> Holy Communion toge<strong>the</strong>r. This<br />
will deeply affect young people, as <strong>the</strong>y will take <strong>the</strong>ir servants as a model.<br />
