The People's Christ

Every since the fall of man, people have struggled to place their hope in God. And ever since Israel told God they wanted king there has not been a model of government with God at its head.

The office of High Priest was appointed by men to be the representative of the people before God. And was also takes with being the representative of God to the people. As such the job of high priest was the highest office. The priest would make the sacrifices on the alter in the course for the nation, the. He would enter into the holy place, then he would enter into the most holy place (holy of Holies). If the HP had done all that was required of him he would come back out alive, and the evidence of the living HP meant that the sacrifice was accepted and the sins of the people were forgiven.

“Gets” His People

The song writer said, “Jesus knows all about my troubles” and I approve that message. Jesus is not some god who does not understand the plight of his people, but on the contrary, he endured the same problems we have. The High Priesthood in Jesus’ day, and in the traditional dating of Hebrews was occupied by the Sadducees. And they were aristocrats. they did not any longer identify with the people.
