The High Priest

THE HIGH PRIEST

In Matthew 28:6 the angel said to the women who had come to finish the embalming of Jesus that Lord’s Day morning: “Ye seek Jesus who was crucified; He is not here. He is risen. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” He died a Lamb. He arose the Lord High Priest of the New Creation.

You remember from John 20 that Mary saw Him. When she discovered who He was, she fell at His feet. He said, “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.” What did He mean?

He meant what we read in Heb. 9:11-12. “But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, nor yet with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption.”
As the High Priest, He took His own blood and carried it up to the Heavenly Holy of Holies and there presented it to God.

It was accepted, and that red seal is upon the document of our Redemption. The blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is the eternal witness of His finished work for us, of our legal right to Eternal Life, and sonship with all its privileges. On the basis of that blood, we are more than conquerors.

Satan has no dominion over us. His dominion is utterly broken. The tokens of that victory are continually before the Father. Hebrews 7:22 “By so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.” If you are in grave danger, or Satan is pressing hard upon you, you call the Father’s attention to your rights that are guaranteed on the ground of that blood.

Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony.” You have a legal right to the Name of Jesus that casts out demons and breaks Satan’s power. John 16:23 “If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.”

All things are possible to you, because you are in the family. You have the perfect protection that the blood guarantees.
