The Great High Priest
Thursday, March 5, 2026Key Verse
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession” (Hebrews 4:14).
Text — Hebrews 4:12-16
Message
“In the Old Testament, the office of the high priest was highly esteemed. He was appointed to offer sacrifices unto God on behalf of the people. He entered into the holy of holies once every year to offer sacrifice for his sins first and then, the sins of the congregation. However, our text today reveals to us the heaven-appointed, sinless and superior high priest, who is greater than any other high priest, Jesus Christ – the great high priest who atoned for the sins of humanity once and for all through His blood and then departed to heaven.
His vicarious death gives us forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God, earthly blessings and eternal life. Holding on to Christ, our mediator by faith qualifies you to enjoy this. And now you can come boldly before God to obtain pardon and mercy as a sinner, find grace for righteous living as a believer, and receive help for your soul, spirit, and body through Jesus’ sacrifice.
