Scripture –
Hebrews 7:22-25 – This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
Observation-
God made an oath to guarantee the new covenant that Jesus is a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. Jesus is alive and lives everlasting at the right hand of God intervening for us.
Application-
Perfect, sinless Jesus, God in flesh, died once for the sin of all mankind! Jesus overcame sin and death and lives forever with the Father. When I place my faith in the name of Jesus, I can know with certainty that I have salvation in the finished work in the Cross. When I seek Him and draw near He is there with me.
Prayer-
Father,
Thank you for establishing the new covenant with your son Jesus so I can repent be reconciled to know you and make you known. Let the Spirit draw me near to you to extend your glory.
