HOPE IN OUR HIGH PRIEST
Hebrews 4:14-16
“Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let’s hold firmly to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.”
Do you remember when you were young and something happened that scared or upset you? Did you run away somewhere or maybe run TO someone? Why?
Most often, especially if we were away from home, we’d run TO home.
I can remember – vaguely – some times like that… and I’d usually run home to a parent with whom I could feel safe and secure and normal. Why did that work for me? Because I KNEW my parents. They had always protected me, provided for me, guided me, and cared for me. For my entire life, they were my fortress and helpers.
Jesus came to show us the way to the Father. He said, “I and the Father are One.” And while here on earth, he experienced all the categories of suffering that we do today. Thus, the writer of Hebrews could say, “Therefore, let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.”
We demonstrate our HOPE (“confident expectation”) in God when we come to Him when we are in need.
My advice: When you face a problem, don’t run FROM God; run TO Him.
Prayer: LORD, thank You for all you do for me. Thank You that I can come to you confidently. Amen.
