This message invites us into the profound truth that we have direct, unhindered access to God through Jesus Christ, our great high priest. Drawing from Hebrews chapters 2 and 4, we discover that Jesus had to become fully human—taking on flesh and blood—in order to represent us before God. The gift of frankincense brought by the wise men takes on deeper meaning when we understand that frankincense was part of the holy incense used by the high priest when entering God's presence on the Day of Atonement. Jesus didn't just become any priest; He became the great high priest who lived the perfect life we couldn't live, died the death we deserved, and rose again victorious. The beauty of this truth is staggering: we don't need appointments, background checks, or intermediaries to approach God. Because Jesus sympathizes with our weaknesses—having been tempted in every way yet without sin—we can come boldly to the throne of grace at any moment. This Christmas, we're reminded that God didn't rescue us to remain angry with us; He wants to help us. When we face temptation, suffering, or struggle, we have a high priest who truly understands and stands ready to provide timely help. The question becomes: when we need help, do we turn to God first, or do we seek other sources? Our answer reveals what we're truly trusting in.
