What does the high priest do? It would be through him that we can talk and commune with God.
The Lord Jesus is the greate high priest.
Hebrews 7:24
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.
Isn't it amazing that Jesus will always be there, forever, as our mediator between the Holy God and us sinners?
Hebrews 7:26-27
Such a high priest meets our need-- one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 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.
Holy. Blameless. Pure. Set apart. Exalted.
He sacrificed himself for me and for you. We are now free from the bondage of sin and can now live a life that can be used to completely glorify our Lord. Jesus meets our need as a mediator between us and God. Without him, who knows what God would be like... He can easily smite us for the sins and wrongdoings we commit everyday. However, God is loving and caring. He sent His only son to receive our punishment. I thank you God for Jesus. :)
