The verse for 7/25 is from Heb 7:25, "Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf." NLT
This verse attests to the power of Jesus to be our Savior, permanently! In the Old Testiment there were many priests responsible for coming to God on behalf of His people, to offer prayers and sacrifices for their sins. They were human and they eventually died and had to be replaced by new priests.
When God made Jesus our High Priest, He certainly eliminated the need for the former kind of priests. Instead of offering other sacrifices, Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice. No other sacrifice could ever measure up to His perfection and value. He became the way for everyone to reach a Holy God; the very best way and the only way.
What a plan! Our God is brilliant. Not only did He allow us access to Him through His son, Jesus, but He also gave us the blessing of having Jesus intercede with Him on our behalf. I don't know about you, but if there is anyone I want praying and imploring with God on my behalf, it is Jesus. How fortunate we are. How blessed we are that God has provided The Way!
