THE PERFECT HIGH PRIEST FOREVER
(Hebrews 7:23-28 NLT)
# There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office.
# But because Jesus lives forever, His priesthood lasts forever.
# Therefore He is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through Him. # He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.
# He is the kind of high priest we need because
% He is holy and blameless, unstained by sin.
% He has been set apart from sinners and
% has been given the highest place of honor in heaven.
# Unlike those other high priests, He does not need to offer sacrifices every day.
# They did this for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people.
# But Jesus did this once for all when He offered Himself as the sacrifice for the people’s sins.
# The law appointed high priests who were limited by human weakness.
# But after the law was given, God appointed His Son with an oath, and His Son has been made the perfect High Priest forever.
