Please read Hebrews 7.
Meditate on verse 25.
Therefore He (Jesus) is able also to save forever those who draw near to God
through Him, since He always
lives to make intercession for them.
Notice the doctrines of God in Hebrews 7:26-28. Jesus is:
*High
Priest
*Holy
*Innocent
*Undefiled
*Separated
from sinners
*Exalted
above the heavens
*Does
not need to daily offer sacrifices because He offered up
Himself
once for all for your sins
*Perfect
forever
Amazingly, your perfect, holy, undefiled
Savior lives to intercede for you. Jesus is compared to Melchizedek, a priest
and king in the days of Abraham (Genesis 14:18-20). Melchizedek was a priest
before God established the Jewish law or the priestly system. He had no recorded
genealogy in the Bible and no record of his birth or death. He was a picture
for the Israelites of Messiah. Melchizedek even brought bread and wine to
Abraham. God was giving His people a picture of Christ 2,000 years before Jesus
came to earth.
The writer
of Hebrews wanted to teach his readers about Melchizedek in chapter 5, but
stopped because they were dull of hearing. He decided to explain Melchizedek in
chapter 7 anyway. God knew you would have ears to hear.
Jesus, who
is a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek, is constantly
putting in a good word for you. Satan wants to condemn you, but when you are in
Christ, he cannot because Jesus always lives to intercede on your behalf. When
you belong to Christ, you can boldly run to the Father because the Son of God
is talking favorably about you to Him.
Pray Hebrews
7:25 over someone for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman
(Isaiah 62:6-7).
“Jesus,
please let _______ draw near to God through You.
Save them
forever.
Thank You
for always living to make intercession for us.
In Your
name, Jesus~”
