Our High Priest

Our High Priest

Before the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the high priest made sacrifices on behalf of the people to atone for their sin. This type of sacrificial offering went on for years. Jesus put an end to the need of this type of sacrifice. 

Because He lived a perfect life, He was “qualified” to become the perfect sacrifice. A sour High Priest, He offered Himself as the atoning sacrifice. Now when we accept what He did on the cross, God sees Jesus when He looks at us. This is a reason to celebrate!

Take time today to worship God for providing us with the perfect sacrifice for the atonement of our sin. Then show your appreciation by seeking to live a sinless life. Honoring God in all we do needs to be our purpose. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Hebrews 7:26-28

26 Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 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. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son,who has been made perfect forever.
