Good morning, everyone!
Today I read Hebrews 1-6.
In this letter, Paul talks about Jesus, who He is, what He has done for all people, and declares Him to be our high priest.
See, Paul talks first about the priests and prophets of old, and how God talked to His people through them, and how God now talks to His people through Jesus.
Hebrews 2:17-18 - Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.
Jesus is our High Priest. He intercedes with God on our behalf. And He understands us. We can tell Him anything, and ask about anything. No matter what we are going through, Jesus understands, because He has walked where we walked, experienced all the temptation and fear that we experience. And He overcame it. He lived a life with no sin, so that He could be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.
He understands you. He knows you. He knows what you are going through. No matter how rough or ugly or painful your days get, Jesus knows and He understands, because He has been there.
He was mocked. Taunted. Beaten. Bruised. Killed.
And He overcame it all, so that He could intercede for you and me, and say that He understands us.
I don't know what you're going through today, but our High Priest, Jesus, does. And He has been where you are. He has been tempted and hurt as you are. And He overcame it so that He could help you overcome it too.
Seek Him today, and ask for His help. He will give it.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Hebrews 7-10.
