The Perfect High Priest That Lives Forever!

Scripture

Hebrews 7

24 But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. 25 Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.

26 He is the kind of high priest we need because he is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has been set apart from sinners and has been given the highest place of honor in heaven. 27 Unlike those other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices every day. They did this for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people. But Jesus did this once for all when he offered himself as the sacrifice for the people’s sins.

28 The law appointed high priests who were limited by human weakness. But after the law was given, God appointed his Son with an oath, and his Son has been made the perfect High Priest forever.

Observation

We no longer need a priest to go between God and us because Jesus has become our high priest Who lives forever as our High Priest to intercede on our behalf.

For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus. [6] He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at the proper time. 1 Tim. 2:5-6

Application

I will thank the Lord that He is constantly interceding on my behalf. I have forgiveness through Him.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You that I don’t need a high priest or anyone else to go between You and me. I can go directly to You because Jesus has paid the ransom for me and He is now at Your right hand interceding for me and for all that calls Him their Lord and Savior. Thank You that I can approach Your throne with boldness because of what Jesus has done for me.
