Gospel Reflections #571: We have a High Priest who truly Loves us

Heb 7:26 "Thus is the High Priest who is holy, blameless, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the brittle heavens, the one we need."

Jesus came to us as a human being, leaving behind his authority and position in heaven, in order to fulfill the plan of salvation for mankind.

He lived on earth as a human being with the potential to sin, but he did not sin.

He gave his life on the Cross to fulfill the plan of salvation for mankind and took our place.

Even though we did not yet know Him or had rejected Him, He served and offered Himself to us to the end to fulfill the plan to save us.

After his resurrection, he gave us hope, set us an example, provided for our every need and returned to heaven.

Even after Jesus returned to heaven, he prepared the Holy Spirit for us, and he continues to intercede for us in heaven to guide our growth.

The God we believe in is a God who goes so far as to do this for us, and this is His love.

We have always been loved by God. Whether we rebel, fail, or fall, He still loves us.

When we feel and experience this, we realise the size, breadth and depth of God, and we become aware of our choice to trust and surrender to him for the first time.

It is never too late.

We want to take the time to know and taste who God is, and to choose of our own free will the One who is necessary for us.
