Do you ever feel distant from God? Do you ever feel insecure? I do. This sermon is for us.The current series of sermons is all about confronting our “Ricky-Bobby” Jesus, our small, truncated, safe mental versions of Jesus, with the real Jesus, powerful, dangerous, but good and life giving. Everybody has a “Ricky-Bobby” Jesus. Do you know yours?Last week we saw that Jesus is the great prophet who challenges us and calls us to faithfulness and the thriving life. However he is not only a prophet, but a prophet on a cross who died for us, giving himself completely for us. This is a prophet we can trust no matter how challenging his words to us might be. God is not silent. He has always spoken to his people through his prophets and now supremely through the culmination of all the prophets, Jesus.This week we turn to another biblical office, the office of priest, and how Jesus is the fulfillment and completion of the priesthood. What the ancient Hebrew priests pointed to, Jesus fully accomplishes. Jesus covers the distance between us and God and unwinds the tangle of our insecurity.I can’t wait to worship together.Pastor David
