Bible Verse


Made Higher Than The Heavens
For such a high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. For the law maketh men high priests who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
(Hebrews 7:26-28)

The high priest spoken of in the book of Hebrews is referring to God's only begotten Son, The Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus, who is holy and undefiled, came into this sinful world in the form of a human, yet without any evil in Him. Christ's main purpose was to offer up His life by shedding His blood to cover the sins of the world from the past, the present and into the future: once and for all mankind. We ought to thank Our Father each and everyday for His wonderful gift of salvation through the sacrificial blood of His Son which enables us to speak to God directly without the intercession of human priests. And each day as we pray to Our Father and glorify His Name, we should be grateful for His gift of Jesus Christ who was made higher than the heavens and sits in glory at the right hand of God.
