Short Thoughts for Today

Today we will look to Hebrew's 4:14 for our short thoughts for the day. In this verse we read, "Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession".

Members of the body of Christ have made a confession of faith in the One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. We are called to, and able to, hold fast to this confession because of what God has accomplished through and in Him. We should rejoice each day as "we have a great high priest". The Hebrew writer will go into more detail about our great high priest later in the book, but here he gives us a glimpse of this statement of His greatness.

One day our great high priest will come again as He promised. He is preparing a place for us and we have confidence in His return. Today's verse tells us that He has passed through the heavens. Positionally, as I write today, I am seated in Christ in heavenly places. But one day I will also pass through the heavens with Him as He takes me to my heavenly home. Praise God!
