Great High Priest - Heb. 4:14

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Heb. 4:14


Prayer
I have a great High Priest who intercedes for me and understands my weaknesses. Lord Jesus, You know my many faults and yet You still love me. Thank You for shedding Your blood upon the cross to save a sinner like me. Don't let life's troubles or worldly distractions fog my thinking or keep me apart from Your presence. I draw near to You this day for You are my great High Priest who is my defense and source of strength. In Your Holy name I pray

JESUS MY GREAT HIGH PRIEST,
Offered His blood and died;
My guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside.
His powerful blood did once atone,
And now it pleads before the Throne.

My Advocate appears
For my defense on high;
The Father bows His ears
And lays His thunder by.
Not all that hell or sin can say
Shall turn His heart, His love, away.
