Hebrews 7:17-28● Why do we need a Priest?● How is Jesus Christ the Priest we need?● What difference will it make if you receive Him as Priest?V25 - a key word that talks about Jesus’ work - “Intercede.”“For years I looked at life like a case at law. It was a series of proofs. When you were young youproved how brave you were, or smart. Then later on what a good lover you are. Later you provewhat a good father or husband you are. Finally you prove how wise or powerful or whatever. Butunderlying it all, I see now I always made an assumption that when moved on some kind ofupward path toward some elevation where I don’t know what, I could be justified or condemned- a verdict at any rate. I think my disaster began when I looked up one day and I realized thebench was empty. No judge in sight and all that remained was the endless argument withmyself. This pointless litigation of existence with an empty bench, which of course is anotherway of saying, despair.” - Arthur Miller, Playwright1 John 1:8-9“If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive our sins”He has changed things forever so that now the very righteousness and justice of God demands your forgiveness.Romans 8:26-39RESPONSE:● I will abandon myself to my Advocate, Jesus Christ.● I will lean into His Presence and Power to live a new life.● I will pray over my Oikos to find this same deliverance.
