SCRIPTURE: Hebrews (NIV) 4:14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet without sin.
OBSERVATION: We have a Great High Priest! He is great because of what He accomplished. He is High because he is the priest appointed by God to offer the ultimate sacrifice. He is a priest because he was chosen from among men to approach God on their behalf.
My Great High Priest is qualified because he is human; he is one of us. He is qualified because he was tempted in every way we have been tempted. He is qualified because he overcame every temptation and remained without sin. He is qualified because he did not die for his own sins, but for our sins. He presented the perfect sacrifice to cover the sins of all who accept Him as Lord and Savior.
APPLICATION: So, what does that all mean to me? I need to hold firmly to the faith I profess. My faith is to be a part of every day and every activity in which I participate. With my faith, I can face every opportunity and every difficulty.
PRAYER: Lord, living out my faith is possible when I remember that you, the one in whom I have faith, is actually living inside me!!! You are with me every moment! You speak into my heart and mind. May my life bring you joy! Amen
