 As
our High Priest in heaven, Christ also pleads with humanity. He works to
help the indifferent take a second look at grace, to help despairing sinners
grasp hope in the gospel, and to help believers find more riches in the
Word of God and more power in prayer. Jesus is molding our lives in harmony
with God’s commandments and helping us develop characters that will
stand the test of time.
Jesus laid down His life for every person who has ever lived in this world. And now, as our Intercessor or Mediator, “He always lives” to lead people to accept His death for their sins. But human beings are free to reject the pardon Jesus offers. Although He reconciled the whole fallen world to Himself on the cross, He still can’t save us unless we accept His grace. People will not be lost because they are sinners, but because they refuse to accept the pardon Jesus offers. Sin destroyed the intimate relationship Adam and Eve once enjoyed with God. But Jesus, as the Lamb of God, died to free Adam and Eve and all humanity from sin and restore this lost friendship. Have you discovered Him as your High Priest, the One who ever lives to keep that relationship close and vibrant? Christ’s sacrificial death is utterly unique. Christ’s heavenly ministry is incomparable. Only Christ brings God close beside us. Only Christ makes it possible for the divine Spirit to actually dwell in our hearts. Let’s accept Him fully as the Saviour and Master of our lives.
