“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15 HCSB).

JESUS, OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST

Jesus is our Great High Priest. He is well acquainted with all of our “weaknesses” because he has experienced them too. Therefore, we can pray with boldness in the name of Jesus, knowing that He sympathizes and will represent us before the Father. Jesus has opened the way for us, so that we can receive mercy and grace from God. He is our Great Advocate and Perfect Sacrifice because He became like us, yet without sin. We can pray knowing that he hears and understands us.
 
Those who pray in Jesus’ name can come boldly to God’s throne of grace and receive mercy and grace for the asking.
 
PRAYER: Dear Father, we come to You today in the name of Jesus, our Great High Priest. We are thankful for this wonderful access that we have through Christ. Strengthen us and lead us this day by Your Spirit that we might please You in all things. In Jesus’ name, amen.
