Our Great High Priest

Verse:

“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:25, KJV)

Devotional:

As believers, we are all in need of a savior who can intercede on our behalf before God. We need someone who can stand before the throne of grace and make supplication for us. And that's exactly what we have in Jesus Christ, our great high priest.

Hebrews 7:25 reminds us that Jesus is able to save us to the uttermost. This means that there is no sin too great, no situation too dire, and no circumstance too hopeless for Him to handle. He is able to save us completely, from beginning to end.

And how does He do this? By making intercession for us. Jesus is not just a savior who died for us and then left us to fend for ourselves. He is a living savior who always lives to make intercession for His people. He is constantly advocating for us before the Father, pleading our case and presenting our needs before Him.

Because of this, we can draw near to God with confidence, knowing that we have an advocate who is on our side. We don't have to fear God's wrath or doubt His love, because Jesus has already taken care of everything for us. He has paid the price for our sins, and He continues to work on our behalf every single day.

So if you're feeling overwhelmed by your sin or your circumstances, remember that you have a great high priest who is able to save you completely. Draw near to Him in faith, and let Him intercede for you before the Father. Trust in His goodness and His power, and let Him lead you into a life of victory and freedom.

Daily Challenge:

Take some time today to thank Jesus for His intercession on your behalf. Thank Him for His sacrifice on the cross, and for His ongoing work in your life. Ask Him to help you trust Him more fully, and to draw near to Him in faith.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We thank You that He is our great high priest, and that He is always interceding for us before You. Help us to trust Him more fully, and to draw near to You with confidence, knowing that we have an advocate who is on our side. We pray that You would continue to work in our lives, and that You would help us to walk in the victory and freedom that Jesus has provided for us. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
