October 28, 2018 -The word consecration means to set apart something or someone for a holy purpose. In the Old Covenant items to be used only for the worship of God in the Tabernacle or Temple were consecrated to God by being anointed with oil. The Israelite Kings were consecrated to God for that purpose by being anointed with oil, separated to God for His holy use. Jesus Christ, Christ meaning anointed One, was set apart to God and would become Prophet, Priest, and King for the salvation of the world. But do we consider the truth that we have all been consecrated through Baptism and the anointing of oil to God. Every living stone in the Church has been separated to God for His holy use; to bring salvation to this world and glory to God.
