“As important as Jesus’ royal messianic aspect may be, the evidence suggests that he subordinated his royal identity to his primary identity as priest. Jesus sought to implement not a theocracy but a hierocracy under the God of Israel.”
Nicholas Perrin, Jesus the Priest

“those who see the kingdom of God as something falling outside of their own day-to-day reality. For these, it’s not that the kingdom isn’t real; it’s just that it’s real only on the inside. Such might agree with the eighteenth-century writer Louisa May Alcott when she writes, “A little kingdom I possess/ Where thoughts and feelings dwell.”
Nicholas Perrin, The Kingdom of God: A Biblical Theology

“Yet the distinctive nature of that ‘privileging’ is the convergence of priesthood and suffering, for as Davies also observes: ‘If Christian interpreters have tended to see priesthood in terms of missionary service, a typically Jewish reading is to see it in terms of suffering.”
Nicholas Perrin, Jesus the Priest
