Draw Near to the One We Need
In this powerful exploration of Hebrews 7:26-28, we're invited to marvel at the perfection and sufficiency of Jesus as our ultimate High Priest. The passage paints a vivid picture of Christ's unique qualifications - holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. This isn't just theological jargon; it's a profound reminder that Jesus is categorically different from us, yet chose to represent us before God. We're challenged to stop measuring our standing with God based on our performance and instead rest in the assurance of Christ's finished work. The once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus is contrasted with the repetitive sacrifices of the Old Testament, emphasizing the completeness and finality of Christ's atonement. This truth should revolutionize how we approach God, pray, and live our daily lives. We're encouraged to come boldly before God, knowing our access is secured not by our worthiness, but by Christ's perfect priesthood.
