Jesus, Our Great High Priest

 "Priest" is not a word you hear very often in the evangelical church, but in Hebrews Jesus is referred to as our great high priest. He is a supernatural high priest who is not limited by the natural world. Jesus is a sympathetic high priest who deals mercifully with our sin. Through His Sonship we are adopted and grafted into the family of God and we become the Father's beloved children. He is a supplicating and suffering high priest who acts as our advocate before God. Christ is our one and only source—of hope, joy and eternal salvation.
