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.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

FELLOWSHIP

Date 📅 24th November, 2022 Topic Fellowship (koinonia) Living Scripture Matthew 18:20 KJV For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Wherever believers are gathered in the name of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, there the Lord comes to fellowship. In heaven the celestials cease not to give due worship to God and the LAMB of God, it's a constant tradition of divine communion and fellowship. It is not every gathering that men calls Jesus Christ that he attends, the scripture states that these candidates for fellowship must be in the name of Jesus Christ. They must be saved to even think of gathering for the purpose of intimacy and fellowship. Two thieves were hung up on the cross with the person of Christ, but only one that repented and believed in the Kingdom of Heaven and Christ, that received attention from Jesus. To gather in fellowship with the Lord as a family this morning, we must all be in Him. Our devotion will not be c...
