Jesus our King and High Priest forever! - Psalm 110

Jesus our King and High Priest forever!
I love how
the old and new testament come together. When I first began reading the bible I did not see that but, as I have
grown in my reading I can clearly see that Jesus is in it and it points to
Him.
We have so
much uncertainty in this world and I am thankful for a God who does not change His mind.
The world is always changing their minds. He is firm, steady and His promises and Words
are true and proven. Every word of God is tested; He is a
shield to those who take refuge in Him. Proverbs 30:5
Jesus is the eternal mediator
between God and man and the final authority as reigning king, soon to return
and establish His physical kingdom in the same city where Melchizedek was from,
Jerusalem.
High Priest-mediator
between God and man. The first high priest mentioned in the bible is
Melchizedek. He was before the Levitical
priests were anointed. We do not know
his beginning or end…there is no record of his mother or father. Yet Abraham knew that he was the high priest
and honored him by tithing ten percent to him.
The high priests made atonement for the people once a year. Jesus’ atonement for our sins was done once,
because it was His shed blood that takes away our sins. He was born like us so that He experienced
everything that we go through. He gave
totally of Himself, completing the atonement of our sins. He now sits at the right hand of God vs.
1.
King- A sovereign; a
prince; a ruler
Jesus is truly our ultimate
authority!
Jesus has all authority in heaven
and on earth-Matthew 28:18. His name is above every name-Phil.
2:9-11. He is the King of
kings and Lord of lords Rev. 19:16. His kingdom will last forever-Is. 9:6 His enemies will
be made His footstool-Ps. 110:1 He is a
merciful and faithful high priest-Heb.217-18 He sympathizes with our weaknesses-Heb. 4:14-16
Have you
surrendered your life to Christ? Is He your ultimate authority? Do
you come boldly and confidently before His throne of grace? Are you eagerly waiting for His return?
Lord You are our High Priest
forever. You took upon Yourself all of
our sins, griefs and sorrows. You
experienced life on this earth as we experience it. We can run to You for help because You totally
understand what we are going through. Through
You we find forgiveness, strength, mercy and grace. We can boldly come before Your throne of
grace to receive mercy and grace for help in time of our need. Your are faithful! You do not change Your mind and Your promises
are true. There is no one like You the
God of Israel who rides on the heavens to help us and on the clouds in Your majesty,
underneath us are Your everlasting arms,
You drive out the enemy saying destroy him. Amen!
