The Main Point
The main point is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle.
Hebrews 8:1-2
Hebrews is filled with many power teachings. We see how Jesus fulfilled the plans of God laid out in the Old Testament. We learn how things such as the law, sacrifices, and the role of priests all serve as a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. We also see warnings to believers not to fall away from the faith.
But Hebrews identifies a main point as the revelation that Jesus now is our high priest.
Why is this so important? Because the high priest in God's earthly tabernacle served as intercessors. All the people of Israel made their sacrifices and prayers through the high priest and he in turn goes inside the Holy of Holies once a year to make atonement for them, intercede for them. Similarly, Jesus has become our High Priest, taking the place of the earthly High Priest in the eternal temple of God, thus all prayers that we pray in Jesus name are heard and answered by Father God.
That is why Jesus taught us to pray and ask the Father in His name. If we ask in Jesus name, Father God will hear and grant us all we need. John 16:23
Today, remember Jesus is your high priest, and He is at the right hand of the Father, just for you, right now. He is there to intercede for you. Don’t wait! Call on Him now!
