Good Monday morning, my friend, and may our Good God bless you as we start this new week!Read Hebrews 7:15 – 28
We know that Jesus is our High Priest, but this passage details for us several key points about how His priestly ministry is better:
Jesus came in the power of eternal life, to fulfill prophecy.
He is our better hope.
We draw near to God through His ministry.
The LORD swore an oath to make Him our High Priest.
He is the surety of a better covenant.
His ministry is eternal and unchanging.
Jesus is able to save us to the uttermost.
And, the writer of Hebrews says that “such a High Priest was fitting for us” because He “is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;”.
Finally, this passage reminds us that Jesus, our High Priest, LIVES to make intercession for those who come to God through Him. What a picture – Jesus, our perfect and eternal High Priest, is standing before the LORD, always interceding for you; and for me!Think about this. Pray about this.
And let us live our lives in a manner that reflects Our High Priest; and acknowledges the intercession He is making in Heaven for us, even right now. Amen!
