*JESUS OUR HIGH PRIEST*
_For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin._ Heb. 4:15(KJV).
One of the comforting verse of the scripture that has been comfort to believers is Hebrew 4:15. *It is not surprising that this is one of the most shared verses* . Christians often feel the weight of weakness. *It is comforting to know that Christ was tempted in the same way that we are* . *It is a great comfort to know that in the midst of our struggles we have one that truly understands what it means to be human* . It is also comforting to know that Christ endured the difficulty of temptation and he did it without sin. It is one thing to have someone empathize as a fellow struggler. It is quite another thing to have someone empathize but to do so from the position of a conqueror.
It is also worth noting that Hebrews 4:15 provides the meat to a sandwich of exhortation. In Hebrews 4:14 we are told that since we have such a high priest we must hold fast our confession. And in Hebrews 4:16 we are encouraged to confidently draw near the throne of grace.
On one side you have a subtle warning that to not hold fast our confession will lead to us rejecting the only fitting high priest to atone for our sins. *And on the other side we have a precious encouragement to boldly enter into the presence of the Lord to receive the grace that has been purchased for us* . Christ is like an immovable doorstop into the throne room of heaven. Grace is always ours. Our High Priest, Jesus Christ, was trained perfected, as it were for the position He now holds. The Bible says that we will be priests and kings under Him (Rev 5:10). A God being had never experienced life as a human being until the Word became flesh, when He was encompassed with the same kind of frame we are. He then also had a mind that was subject to satan the Devil, if He would allow it. He suffered many things: He went through difficulties and angers. Beloved, always be encouraged in the lord, in that life threatening challenges Jesus is there as your high priest because he has gone through what you are going through now. Remain focus in him. Shalom
*SHALL WE PRAY* : Father in the name of Jesus, thank you for the sacrifice paid for me in redemption and thereby becoming my high priest.
*THE BIBLE THROUGH* : Job 34-37
*MEDITATION* : Hebrew 1:1-10
*SURE PROPHECY* :. I decree total increase over that Business, job in Jesus mighty Name
