Ezekiel 10-12, Hebrews 7: 11-28, Proverbs 13: 1-9
Hebrews 7: 23-25 (ESV)
“The former priests were many in number, because they were
prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood
permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to
the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to
make intercession for them.”
Verses 23 through 25 from Hebrews 7 shows another reason why
Jesus Christ is superior to any priest on earth. Since Christ was resurrected
he holds the office priesthood forever. Christ is able to save all those who
faith in him. Pastor Guzik has commented on these verses that the salvation that
Christ “gives is also unchanging, permanent, and secure.” Others have also interpreted
the word “utmost” to mean that Christ can save us in the most comprehensive
sense. Christ also lives to pray for us, and he never gives up on us. Even if
we have given up on ourselves, Christ will never give up on us. I know that I
have hit rock bottom at times in my life and was ready to give up on everything,
but then Christ came to me and told me to not give up. Christ is the only person
who was ever able to bring me back from the brink of the deep hole of
hopelessness and depression. I’m still not sure why Christ saved me because I
was never an obedient follower, but as long as he had faith in me, I felt like
I could never give up on life.
