THE HIGH PRIEST

May 27th – Capsule 27

TOPIC: THE HIGH PRIEST

BIBLE TEXT: Seeing 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 vs 14

In the Old Testament, the children of Israel had anointed priests, which were men and the first was Aaron, the brother of Moses. These men the Bible talks about all served as mortal priests and are all dead but glory unto the Father who gave the church His begotten Son as our eternal high priest. The job of a high priest is to enter the Holy of holies (inner sanctum) once a year on the Day of Atonement to burn incense and sprinkle sacrificial animal blood for his sins and those of the people but Christ is our living sacrifice and His blood is always sprinkled for our sins.

God's grace and mercy brought this kindness, for us to understand God’s love. Christ the Saviour helps us access the inner sanctum of heaven through the Holy Ghost and without the former ways of once a year. He carries us straight to the Heavenly Father everyday.

What a high priest who will never ask you to kill your livestock’s as atonement, or your children or family or shed your own blood, No! Christ is the full atonement and payment system of our freedom and grace today. When you need help and fears are thick, don’t run to man or a chief priest in a shrine but run to Jesus Christ, the high Priest of the church.


Prayer: My Lord, I recognize your will as my high priest and Saviour, avail for me for the rest of my life in Jesus name.

Insight: Jesus Christ is the full atonement and access into the Holy of Holies.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
