CHRIST AS OUR HIGH PRIEST (1)



“seeing then 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 4:14


LIGHT FOR THE NOW: Jesus is our mediator.       

Adam by his disobedience twisted the plan of God for man. He handed over universal dominion of God’s creation to Satan. Adam successfully brought man under the authority of Satan. He brought a curse upon the animals and the plants of the earth. By Adam’s disobedience, man lost his immortal nature and became mortal. He made man dead doomed or Satan’s servant. Man died spiritually and became an enemy of God. The whole nature of man rebelled. He lost fellowship and a right standing with God. Man could no longer have access to God and became lost to the love of God. By the fall of man, man needed a mediator before he could approach God. He needed the blood of animals before he could gain access to God and command God’s attention. Man became a stranger to God’s covenant and had no covenant claims on God as he had lost all his legal rights. Man now lived in the fear of death as he now became aware of judgment and execution of punishment.

By the fall of Adam, man became an enemy to God. Man became helpless and hopeless without a right standing with God (Jeremiah 30:1). This is the reason for the diverse religions in the world today. Man started looking for a way to approach God and stand before Him. This is because by the fall of Adam, man left the presence of God (Genesis 3:9-10). Man became restricted from his realm of life. He lost access to God and was in need of a mediator. God had to send Jesus to be a substitute for man. No man can reach the Father outside the Son, Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12). To stand before God not condemned, you must come through Jesus. You cannot be in Christ and still be condemned. Christ is our mediator. Halleuyah!!!


 INSTRUCTION: Accept that Christ is your mediator.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for giving me a right standing before you, in Jesus Name. Amen.
QUOTE: You cannot be in Christ and still be condemned.
