Hebrews 4: 12-16 -For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of the soul and of the spirit, of the joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weakness, but one who in every respect has been tempted as are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
We know that if we are in Christ, then we CAN come to the throne, not based on ourselves but based upon Christ's atonement. He is THE high priest, was tempted in every way, like we are, yet without sin. He knows what we have gone through, he understands what it is, yet BECAUSE He never sinned, He can show us a way out, or around, or even walk with us through it and keep us from sinning. He is there for us to lean on, find comfort in, look to for strength and forever working within us (through the power of the Holy Spirit) to eventually conform us into His image.
Thank you dear Jesus for being out High Priest and stand in on our behalf before the Father.
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God- John 1:1
