He Is Higher

 

     The law of the Old Testament turned out to be impossible to keep. Every single person falls short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) The only way for God to bring us back to Himself was to send Jesus to pay the price for us. After Jesus ascended back to heaven, after His brutal death and miraculous resurrection, He sits at the right hand of the Father as He awaits the day we will be with Him.

     Our high priest understands us. He suffers along with us. He prays for us. He loves us. He offers hope. As high as He is, He came to us.  His offer? Forgiveness. Love, Eternal life. I pray you are His.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet He did not sin. Hebrews 4:15

     Jesus sits at the right hand of God, ready to listen to us, ready to intercede for us, to be our advocate.

Therefore, He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them. Hebrews 7:25

Dear children, I write this to you so that you may not sin, but if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father-Jesus Christ, the righteous one. 1 John 2:1

     Jesus will always defend us, will continually intercede for us, will not allow the devil to hold onto us. He is our high priest, available at all times, high above it all.

Jesus,

Thank You for taking our place, for giving us Your righteousness, through only grace, a true gift from above.

Amen
