Our Final High Priest

So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. - Mark 16:19

1 Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

2 a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man. - Hebrews 8:1-2

23 If there be for him an angel, a mediator, one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him, 

24 and he is merciful to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down into the pit; I have found a ransom; 

25 let his flesh become fresh with youth; let him return to the days of his youthful vigor'; 

26 then man prays to God, and he accepts him; he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he restores to man his righteousness. 

27 He sings before men and says: 'I sinned and perverted what was right, and it was not repaid to me. 

28 He has redeemed my soul from going down into the pit, and my life shall look upon the light.' 

29 "Behold, God does all these things, twice, three times, with a man, 

30 to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be lighted with the light of life.  - Job 33:23-30

Sinner, Who intercedes for you before God?

Who is the last High Priest of the human race? 

Who alone has the power to be able to pay your ransom?

For God demanded payment!

Sin brings a penalty, it's death!

Who has been found worthy?

There is a great price that was paid! 

That price was death on a cross, the death and resurrection of an innocent man, not a sinner but the Son of God who came in human form!

Christ has satisfied your debt so that Satan can no longer accuse you before God.

9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world-he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. - Revelation 12:9-10

1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the LORD.

2 And the LORD said to Satan, "From where have you come?" Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."

3 And the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him without reason."

4 Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life.

5 But stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face."

6 And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life."

7 So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and struck Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

8 And he took a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself while he sat in the ashes.

9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die."

10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips. - Job 2:1-10

What a gift, Christ alone saves the sinner from destruction!

Do you know Christ and His power? 

Trust Him for He is your ransom!
