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~”
