“Our Great High Priest”

 “Our Great High Priest”

 

So then, since we have a Great High Priest who has entered Heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold FIRMLY to what we believe.  This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same testings we do, yet He did NOT sin.  So let us come BOLDLY to the throne of our Gracious God.  There we will receive His MERCY and we will find GRACE to help us when we NEED it MOST.  Hebrews 4:14-16

 

I wonder how many of us REALIZE that we have a GREAT HIGH PRIEST in the man of JESUS CHRIST, the SON of the LIVING GOD.  In our Scripture, today, we see that we are URGED to HOLD FIRMLY to what we BELIEVE.  Our High Priest UNDERSTANDS and SYMPATHIZES with our weaknesses, for He faced the SAME testings we do, yet HE DID NOT SIN.  And because He was the SINLESS LAMB of God, without FAULT or BLAME, He became not ONLY our GREAT HIGH PRIEST, but He, HIMSELF, became our ONLY SACRIFICE and our HOPE for the FORGIVENESS of our SINS and to provide for ALL who will ACCEPT it, a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with our CREATOR GOD.

 

When we are WILLING to TURN FROM our SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, we can come BOLDLY to the Throne of our GRACIOUS GOD, where we will RECEIVE HIS MERCY and the place where we will FIND GRACE to HELP US, just when we NEED it MOST.  

 

Is Jesus Christ your Great High Priest?  Do you have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD?  Have you given your HEART and LIFE to God, through the PRECIOUS BLOOD of His ONLY SON, JESUS?  If you have NOT, then you do NOT have a GREAT HIGH PRIEST, who is your ONLY WAY to an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, instead you are headed for an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  You can change that destiny if you will do the following things: First, ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, Jesus, the Son of God.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for YOU, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then you MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.   You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and RECEIVE JESUS, GOD’S SON, as your HIGH PRIEST, and RECEIVE MERCY and FIND GRACE in your time of NEED.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
