A Great High Priest

 

Text:  Hebrew 4:14-16(KJV)

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Friends, the duty of a High Priest is to mediate between God and man.  He enters into the holy of holies to offer sacrifice for sin. But, our great high Priest offered himself ones and for all which is a perfect and eternal sacrifice. He is at the right hand of God interceding for us continually. He is not distant in your trials as an advocate. So, we can draw near to Him in confidence as to access the profitability of our High Priest as we hold fast our faith in Him. Hebrew 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him..

Amazingly, Jesus our great High Priest understands our pains, our weaknesses and all our struggles.  We can now approach God boldly as He has given us access into His presence. He walked through the earth, therefore He went through hunger, thirst, betrayals and even death, so He feels our sorrows and discomforts today. Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Hence, as we call on Him in prayers, he can relate to your life afflictions as He is touched with our infirmities, yet did not sin. Hebrew 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. He is the bridging gap between God and humanity in every life challenges even today in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.       Father, help us to run to Jesus our High Priest for help because His mercy and grace are new in every season as He stands with us in weakness in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Friends, He went through rejections like human beings, so He understands you.
