The High Priest We Have
191 ( 143 | 48 )
We need to hold fast to our faith. Jews in that day paid a high price for acknowledging Jesus as the Messiah. But they had a Great High Priest and so do we
- We need a sympathetic high priest
- because of our infirmities
- these infirmities are not physical but spiritual
- the infirmities are not so much our sorrows but our sins
- We have a sympathetic high priest
- we need that kind of high priest and we have it
- Christ sympathizes with us in our sins
- our sins are the greatest source of our discouragement and problems
- Christ allowed himself to be tempted to sin as far as could be done for one who was without sin
- he was vexed with the filth of sin of the men he walked with far more than we are vexed with the filth of our sin
- if Lot was vexed with the sin of the men of his day and Lot was not known as a spiritual giant, how much more do you think the Righteous One, Christ, was vexed?
- Christ knows far more about the guilt and bitterness of sin than we do
- we will find comfort when we realize our sins moved Christ to pity us more than it did to anger us
- Christ as our great high priest sides with us and does not side against us
- there is always someone who will pity us when we have failed and failed miserably
- sometimes friends will shut us out for our failures but not so with our sympathetic high priest
