Our High Priest:
This is his work to keep us in the path, and to meet our present needs in that path.
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:14-16). “We have such an High Priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens” (Hebrews 8:1).
Not only does our Saviour know our every need, but He also fully enters into what each of His own feels as they pass through the circumstances of life. And not only so, but He is also fully able to meet each need. “My grace is sufficient for thee” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
