JESUS, OUR PRIEST FOREVER!

” BUT BECAUSE JESUS LIVES FOREVER, HIS PRIESTHOOD LASTS FOREVER. 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. ” HEBREWS 7: 24-25

Long before Jesus walked upon this earth God appointed priests to serve the people. These priests were human, so they had to sacrifice, first for their sins and then for the sins of the people. Our Lord Jesus was sacrificed once and for all for our sins. He gave his own life as a sacrifice and only had to give it once. Our Lord has been seated at the right hand of God and is in constant intercession for you and me and all of those who come to God through Jesus. When we pray, he intercedes for us. He goes to God with our requests when we are sad, happy or concerned. He pleads with our God in heaven for you and me. He is always there for us. He never takes a leave of absence or a vacation, but he works for us 24/7. We can go to him in the wee hours of the morning or during the day. He is always there to hear us and intercede for us. We should take time to meditate upon what he did for us when he died upon that cross and always give thanks and praise to him for his mighty strength, wisdom, understanding and love. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
