Jesus is YOUR HIGH PREIST!!!

To go along with the theme I have been preaching lately about living in the Kingdoms Perspective I want to speak today about Jesus being your High Priest. In the Old Testament the people would bring there sacrifices to the priest once a year and that would take care of them until the next year when they brought their next sacrifice. However, in the New Testament Jesus becomes our (the Christian's) sacrifice forever and one time. It has always amazed me how many people will accept Jesus as their Saviour and then after being around church and many religious people think that their works will kept them saved. I put ALL my trust on Jesus being my High Priest and MY perfect sacrifice, one time (because Jesus only had to die once). If you have not noticed there are no perfect people, including YOU & ME. We all have issues that we deal with, but let me share with you how I have been dealing with my issues here lately. 1 Corinthians 4:7 But we (Christians) have this treasure in jars of clay (our bodies) to show this all surpassing power from God (Jesus & the Holy Spirit) and not from us. Did you get that, we can't do it on our own but with Jesus and the Holy Spirit we can do ALL things!!!! When you feel like you can't do something how about calling on Jesus to help you. No matter what it is He can and WILL help you. Read Hebrews 4:16!

Jesus clears the air

While doing my daily Bible reading, I came across a interesting scripture in John 3:12-25. Jesus had went to Capernaum with his family because it was time for the Jewish Passover. They stayed a few days, and when Jesus went into the temple courts, he found found men trying to run a business in a special place according to Jesus (notice the others there did not find it special). Jesus made them leave, then the Jews, asked a question, "What authority do you have to do this?" Then Jesus' answer was "Destroy this temple and I will raise it up in 3 days". Jesus was talking about himself but the religious people missed it. Then they said, "it took 46 years to build this, and you can raise it up in 3 days". After Jesus had died and rose again, the disciples remember Jesus saying this and they believed the scriptures. Then many saw the miracles Jesus was doing and they believed as well. Then John 2:24-25 popped out at me, "But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men. He did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man."
1-When Jesus is in a place it is very special
2-Jesus has the authority in all things
3-It's all about Jesus, and what He did to save us as Christians
4-Jesus knows us and nothing surprises Him about us when we fail
SO WHEN ARE WE GOING TO QUIT TRYING TO WORK OUR WAY IN THE KINGDOM, WHEN JESUS' BLOOD COVERS ALL OUR SINS, PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE!!! On the cross Jesus said, "It is finished!!!! PERIOD!!! Thank you Jesus for you righteousness, because ours is like dirty rags!!
