Jesus Our Great High Priest - Hebrews 10: 8-23

Jesus is the great high priest who ministers before God's throne on behalf of the elected redeemed being the believer's chief cornerstone The priests in the past stood daily offering sacrifices for sin forever but these failed to deal with sin only the perfect high priest could deliver Jesus made Himself the perfect sacrifice by one offering His own are sanctified what a picture this conveys His grace this Jesus gave Himself as He died This great high priest makes intercession for those He redeemed by His blood so those can draw near with a true heart full of faith like a great flood What a privilege we have been given to have such a great high priest Jesus our saviour is seated at God's hand eternally on our case never to cease (Hebrews 10:8-18 Modern English Version 8 Previously when He said, “You did not desire sacrifices and offerings. You have had no pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin,” which are offered in accordance with the law, 9 then He said, “See, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 But every priest stands daily ministering and repetitively offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God. 13 Since that time He has been waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has forever perfected those who are sanctified. 15 The Holy Spirit also witnesses to us about this. For after saying, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds, “Their sins and lawless deeds will I remember no more.” 18 Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. 21 and since we have a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse them from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us firmly hold the profession of our faith without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.)
