Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 7 March 2022
TOPIC: The Supremacy Of Christ’s Priesthood
TEXT: Hebrews 4:14 – 5:10(NKJV)
STUDY: Today the writer of Hebrews reminds us that as Children of God, we have obtained total access to God through our High Priest – the Lord Jesus Christ (Heb. 5:5-10). Jesus mediates between us and God and assures us of God’s forgiveness.
Unlike the high priest who could go before God only once a year, Christ is always at God’s Right Hand, interceding for us. Jesus has more authority than the Jewish high priest because He is truly God and truly man. Born as a man, lived among men, went through the same human challenges and temptations without sin(vv. 14-15), he therefore completely understands our weaknesses and sympathises with us.
He is always available when we pray and can give us strength to overcome our trials and temptations. <br> Beloved, at times, we will undergo trials because we want to obey God’s will.
Remember, Jesus still sits at the right hand of God and makes intercession for us daily; and his priesthood is forever. Learn to depend on His grace alone and approach Him boldly to obtain mercy and help in time of need.
PRAYER: Lord, fill me with courage when faced with trials and temptations so that Christ will be honoured in my life. Amen.
