(last years SOAP which perfectly follows yesterdays)
SCRIPTURE: Hebrews (NIV) 8:1 The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2 and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.
OBSERVATION: After years of high priests wearing ceremonial garments and offering token sacrifices for sin and then dying in office. After years of offering animal sacrifices that could never properly cover the sins of the people for which they were killed. After years of going through ceremonies and rituals full of meaning but that could never change any heart. Wouldn’t it be good to have a real high priest who would not die in office and need to be replaced? Wouldn’t it be good to have a high priest make a sacrifice that could really pay for sin?
The point of what the writer of Hebrews is saying is that in Jesus we really do have such a High Priest!!! We have a High Priest who was sinless and sacrificed His own blood to be the covering for sin! We have a High Priest who rose from the death of His own sacrifice and will never die again! He is eternal!
APPLICATION: His one sacrifice covers the sins of our grandparents, our parents, us, our children and our grandchildren—generations before and generations after!
What a day that will be when family generations will join to worship this Great High Priest! He is worthy of the praise of all generations!
PRAYER: Lord, you are the Great High Priest who fulfilled all the prophecies we find in the tabernacle built by the Israelites in the wilderness. You are the Great High Priest who made the one sacrifice that will forever be accepted as the payment for sin. On my knee I bow, and with my tongue confess that you are LORD! Amen.
