OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST

OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST

Hebrews 4:14-5:6

Dear Father, Eternal God,

Enable us to hold fast to our confession of Jesus as our great
High Priest. We adore him, for even though he passed through the
heavens to enter your sanctuary, he is able to sympathize with our
weaknesses, because in flesh like ours he was tempted just as we
are. But unlike us, he bore up under it without sinning. Through
his victory, enable us to draw near to your throne of grace, in
order that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in our times
of need so that we can have victory ourselves.

How thankful we are for our High Priest, who did not take the
honor upon himself. You yourself called him and appointed him to
act on our behalf in relating to you. And he offered himself as a
gift and sacrifice for our sins.

In the name of Jesus, our High Priest, I ask. Amen.
