Christ our High Priest, Still on the Job Heb. 4: 14-15 CLICK TITLE FOR AUDIO
We have a high priest that knows and understands our problems. He is our only hope for eternal life. Too many of us appreciate salvation and leave Jesus at the cross. The Lord Jesus Christ plays a huge role in our daily lives and this lesson is to remind you of how he works daily on our behalf.
A PRIEST IS A MEDIATOR, WHO INTERCEDES WITH A JUST GOD ON BEHALF OF GUILTY SINNERS.
