Our Heavenly High Priest

Such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and become higher than the heavens.
Hebrews 7:26 JND

Our Heavenly High Priest
Aaron and his sons were not at all suited to meet our need: their qualifications were far short of what is required. A high priest fully suited to us must have infinitely higher characteristics. First, He must be holy in character, having unvarying love of good and hatred of evil. Second, in conduct He must be harmless, having no element of disregard for the need or welfare of others. Third, in contact He must be undefiled, not in any measure contaminated by circumstances of corruption. And fourth, His communion must be separate from sinners, His entire path drawing a clear line of demarcation between Himself and those in a course of sin. All these characteristics are seen beautifully and perfectly in our Lord throughout His walk on earth. And none other in all history could even distantly approach Him: He stands alone in unique and blessed dignity.

But there is a fifth qualification: He must be made higher than the heavens. A mere earthly level of priesthood would not do. He must be given a position higher than all others—higher than angels—everything being subject to His sublime authority. Thus He can use all things in creation for the blessing of those for whose welfare He is appointed High Priest. How wonderfully are His people cared for!

-- L. M. Grant

O Lord, in Thee our eyes behold a thousand glories more

Than the rich gems and polished gold the sons of Aaron wore.

Their range was earth, nor higher soared; the heaven of heavens is Thine;

Thy majesty and priesthood, Lord, in peerless glory shine.

Immortal honors crown Thy name, Thou blessed Priest and King:

May heaven and earth resound Thy fame, each day fresh praises bring!

-- I. Watts

ACCEPTED TIME 2

God is never too early and He is never too late. His timetable is set on purpose; the purpose is not only for your sake but also for His. In all things, His name shall be glorified. No doubt, He would have been glorified healing Lazarus of his sickness, but this can't compare to raising him from the dead after four...More

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern for all who are going to believe on him for everlasting life.
