1 For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. 3 Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own…

Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16, Jesus the Great High Priest The practical benefit for us in having Jesus as our Great High Priest in Heaven is that Jesus gets it! Jesus knows our weaknesses. Jesus knows our needs. And Jesus totally gets it. Jesus says to us, come on up to the throne of grace and receive all the mercy and grace that you need.

Jesus followed the pattern of the high priest and, being purse, made his sacrifice of himself and went into the Holiest Place. He calls us to follow him, which will mean accepting his teachings, laying down our lives, reckoning ourselves as dead, and following him into union with the Father.

In Jesus as the High Priest we see one who empathizes with us having won through himself and who is both priest and victim for us.

Jesus is the true high priest, the foundation of Christian discipleship, and the motivation source of the church's witness to the world.
