The Interceding Priest

Hebrews 4-10

Jesus fulfills the office of priest, interceding on behalf of people and by becoming the sacrifice necessary to purify them of their sin.

In the Old Testament, God established a priesthood among His people. The Priest's role was to intercede on behalf of the people and perform regular animal sacrifices to purify their sins. Jesus is the perfect Priest, the High Priest who interceded on behalf of the people by laying down His life to be a once-and-for-all sacrifice for sin.

Because Jesus interceded on our behalf before the Father, we seek to intercede on the behalf of others for their salvation as we tell them how they can be forgiven of their sins through Christ.
