JESUS OUR HIGH PRIEST
Beloved, God ordains the High Priest as a mediator between him and his people. So the High Priest performs sacrifices to God to cover the sins of God's elected children.
ln the Old Testament, Aaron as the High Priest performed sacrifices of bullock for himself and family and two goats for the lsraelites, sprinkling the blood seven times on the mercy seat. This covers the sins of the lsraelites and God's mercy and kindness comes upon them with an annual renewal.
But in the New Testament, God ordained JESUS CHRIST as our High Priest, himself is the sacrifice [Lamb of God]. His sacrifice, once done and never repeated, brought forgiveness of sins, consecration, election and acceptance as adopted children of God.
Since our High Priest is heavenly, seated at the right hand side of God Almighty, interceding for us, we ought to keep our profession, that is, our confession of faith, in Him.
He is not unawares of our weaknesses since he tasted of same but without sin; As a result, he intercedes passionately for us.
Beloved, JESUS is our LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE, the HIGH PRIEST before the Father, SHALOM.
