Topic: THE HIGHEST PRIEST
Content:
Hebrews 7:23-25
Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Hebrews 7:27
Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
Hebrews 9:24
For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.
“In all my life I have always been challenged by some near and dear family members. Comparisons about their priest’s and what we believe in .
I bluntly say that we do not entertain a realm where our priest is in the grave.The one we believe left an empty grave to enter heaven and is alive. We do not serve a dead God but one who is alive and interceding for us even now .
This has always been my punch line that silences all comparison “
Prayer : Let’s adore our high priest who was and is to come . Thank him for all your Joys .
Faith in Action:
Share on my accident and the faith of my mum.
Hebrews 11:1-2
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.
“There are many things now that the human mind has concocted that can dwindle faith . Where are you placed . Are we willing to let science explain the beginning and the end .
Your Faith in this generation will bring joy in heaven and The Lord above sees it all”
“We work not out of fear but out of love that is imprinted in our hearts and minds . This was Gods intention from the beginning “
Prayer : Let not our faith be diluted with our pseudo intellectual abilities.
God Disciplines His Children
Hebrews 12:4-6
In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”
Discipline makes us mature. We can persevere knowing that we are on the winning team.
Hebrews 5:13-14
Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
The Lord has engraved his love and law in our hearts and minds so that we may resist the devil in our thoughts. The seat from where everything begins .
Hebrews 10:16
“This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”
His teachings are not written on earthly material . It is a relationship with him that gives shape to a way of life . This starts with our thoughts. Let’s begin drifting off the evil thoughts and let only the good productive thoughts convert to physical action in our lives .
Yes there will be times you fail but Gods is looking at your will . He loves to know that you chose to love him out of your own free will.
Hebrews 10:17-18
Then he adds:
“Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more.”
And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
Jesus is our sacrifice . He said “ It is done “
Let’s pray :
Change us from the inside out Lord . Thank you for your full proof plan .
Prayer Points:
Prayer : Let’s adore our high priest who was and is to come . Thank him for all your Joys .
Prayer : Let not our faith be diluted with our pseudo intellectual abilities.
