PRIEST JESUS

Hebrews 3:1
“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly
calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;”
Hebrews 4:14-15
“Seeing
then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus
the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 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.”
These scriptures clearly show that the Lord Jesus is our
one true High Priest. Despite this fact,
many men in this day and time have foolishly claimed this title for themselves.
Blinded by pride, these men consider themselves worthy of and honor that the
Heavenly Father only bestowed upon his Son. If any man claims that he is the
High Priest of God, he is contradicting scripture and is guilty of nothing less
than blasphemy!
Hebrews 8:1-4
“Now of the things which we have spoken this is the
sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of
the Majesty in the heavens; 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true
tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 3 For every high priest is
ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this
man have somewhat also to offer. 4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a
priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:”
We give thanks and praise to the Heavenly Father who has
appointed to us a true High Priest, blameless, without fault or sin. Christ
Jesus, who has ascended into the heavens to appear in the presence of God for
us.
