—Hebrews 4:14-5:4
by: Linda Harris.
The high priest of the Old Testament could only do so much for the people. Once a year he made atonement for their sins along with his own. He could intercede for them; he could guide them in their spiritual lives. His abilities ended there.
In contrast, our High Priest Jesus Christ can do so much more. He offers atonement for sins every second of every day. He became the sacrifice for sin so that we no longer need to offer burnt sacrifices. Though he was without sin, he understands when we sin. He intercedes for us face to face with the Father. As he guides us in our spiritual walk, he gives us the power to do his will. Thank and praise him today for all he does as our high priest.
