December 22nd

The bible reading is in Hebrews chapters 7-10.

Jesus is better. Jesus is a better Priest than Aaron and his line of sons who became High Priests after him. Let us listen...

“And the lineage of Aaron indeed have been made priests...as God commanded Moses to bestow the High Priest office upon his brother Aaron and his sons after him. There were many in number...in the hundreds up until the time of Christ’s birth in Bethlehem...because by death they were hindered from continuing:

Just like Aaron died so did his sons...they were all mortal...“but he...”Jesus...“because he lives forever, his priesthood is forever unchangeable.”

Jesus was mortal and immortal in the same body...every bit man and every bit God...Jesus suffered and died on the cross in his mortality and was raised from the dead to live forever...never to die again...showing his immortality.

“Therefore he (Jesus) is able to save to the uttermost (even to the guttermost) them that draw near unto God through him,”

The priests in Aaron’s order could only present sacrifices to save in their short lifetimes. There was bound to be Israelites who mourned Aaron’s death because they were now without an intercessor between them and God...forever how long that may be.

But Jesus is better...the better High Priest because...“He ever lives for us." That phrase, he ever lives for us, thrills my soul...it doesn't say that the one who went to extraordinary measures to save me from my sins lives for me until he doesn't...he died for me and now lives for me forever. Praise his name.

And in particular, Jesus ever lives...to make intercession for us who believe!.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭7:23-25‬

O friends I got saved by Jesus on the cross...and I am forever being saved by his forever life! Awesome.

And the writer continues to make the case that Jesus is better by far always...“But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, A high priest with salvation power...then through the greater and more perfect tent ( not made with hands, that is, not of this creation).

Heaven’s perfect Temple...Jesus entered once for all into the holy places not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9:11-12‬

Jesus...the High Priest that went into the holy of holies in Heaven...not to place animal sacrificed blood on the ark of the covenant for one more year of salvation for the believer...Jesus went in and placed his own sacrificial blood from the cross upon the ark of the covenant securing for those who believe Him as the one and only savior God an eternal redemption...an eternal life with God.

So awesome to my heart...Jesus was and is better...Let us trust him more friends.

Have a great day
