As I continue to "blog through" the book of Hebrews, today's short thoughts will come from Hebrews 8:3 where the author writes, "For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer."
As the writer continues to compare and contrast the "former priests" with Jesus, our high priest, we see, like the former, "it was necessary that this high priest also have something to offer". Where does one start to explain all that He has to offer!
A list would include but not be limited to the following. A perfect sacrifice. Sinlessness. Righteousness. Holiness. Justice. Innocence. Propitiation. Access to the Father. Love. Hope. Peace. Forgiveness. Eternal life. Abundant life. Sin bearer. Savior. Helper. Victory over death. A promised return. A home in heaven.
Oh yes, this high priest has something to offer!
