OUR FAITHFUL HIGH PRIEST

January 20, 2024 • Dr Zubeda Sing, Pastor Zubeda Sing

We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham. Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.

 

Jesus is our faithful high priest. He is a Saviour, a Redeemer and a friend that sticks closer than a brother. He died so that we might live.

 

The most important part of his role as high priest is, he was made just like us when he left heaven to come to live on Earth with us. He is faithful and merciful. He makes intercession on our behalf. He stands in our stead before God, because he too suffered temptation and trials and he overcame them. His victory has become our victory.

 

I am not sure what troubles, sins or challenges you may be facing, but know this, Jesus knows all about them, he has experience in the challenges we face. Like the saying the world has, “done that, got the t-shirt” well, this is what he is saying. Do not let troubles or challenges or failures trouble you. I got this, follow me and forget what you have done.


So, you are free to live this good life, you have a faithful and merciful high priest.

 

CONFESSION/PRAYER

I am a son/daughter of God. Jesus is my high priest and he is ever faithful and ever present in my life. He was tempted in every way I am, yet he did not sin. He is seated at the right hand of the father, making intercession for me. I am covered. He has my back. I am looking to him, the author and finisher of my faith.
