Hebrews 7 - Always

As we see the many aspects of Jesus' role as the High Priest throughout the book of Hebrews, I feel a special assurance in verse 25 of chapter 7. "Therefore He is always able to save those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them." Jesus is ALWAYS there to intercede on our behalf.

Jesus did not take up this role lightly. He accepted the responsibility to always be there for us and to be the intermediary before the Father. This was not a role that could be filled from time to time as needed. It is a constant, never ending responsibility.

Have you ever failed to carry on with a task that was assigned to you which would always be yours to do? 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, "Rejoice always! Pray constantly. Give thanks in everything, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." Do ever stop rejoicing? Do ever stop praying? Do you ever find yourself experiencing problems or trials that you don't give thanks for? It is part of the human nature to eventually give up. We are human, after all. But Jesus, fully human and fully God did not. He has not stopped saving those who come to God through him and he will not stop saving them.

Take Refuge that we ALWAYS have an intecessor in Jesus Christ, our High Priest
