Jesus Christ, Our Great High Priest

Not only is Jesus Christ a righteous King to reign over us, but He is also our Great High Priest to reconcile us to God. In this brief clip, R.C. Sproul considers how the exalted priesthood of Jesus is displayed in the book of Hebrews.

[ChandraAnandInChrist]

Hebrews 4:14, 15, 16
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-- yet was without sin.Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Jesus is much more Superior than Moses and Levi than any other person in this world that's just simply amazing

[TheLionOfJudahTheLambOfYHWH]

Jesus is manifested as man and God with us- He was in the beginning and continues to become our Saviour as He is king and Lord that are both Godly and man made, empathetic in nature and Gracious in essence

Christ is The son of God
Is God himself, who took the form a human/ the son of God. Is not a high Priest is God himself

Hebrews 7:25 uses the greek word ENTUNCHANO, literally to 'plead' as in a pettition made to a king' ( See vines greek dict) as a consequence of his sacrifice Christ 'interceeds' on our behalf as Paul says. How then can there be a 'trinity' if this 'High priest' Jesus ( who was appointed as such by the Father, Heb 5;5) an be 'God' at the same time? It doesnt make sense!

[claudiozanella]

Jesus is no "high priest", nor "mediator". Who is He? He is the Owner of heaven, the only Savior. It is normally accepted that God knows the WHOLE future and is here interacting with us. You should distinguish between "possible futures" (that God could maybe modify) and "THE ONE actual future" (including the modifications by God) that will ACTUALLY take place. Thus, God is supposed to perfectly know that One future which will ACTUALLY come true. Once again, that actual future is ALREADY AMENDED in accordance with the God's wishes. But this implies a SEPARATION of God from the world and mankind:
God would simply BOREDLY STARE at what happens in the world, doing NOTHING MORE than staring at that well-known film which simply regularly UNFOLDS. God had really NOTHING to do because even the God's voice would be ALREADY RECORDED on that film: his power standing ALONE would do exactly what needed. God would refrain to take his personal actions too, because they MUST EXACTLY be taken as in that film, no deviations are allowed! Since that actual future is "already amended", this implies there MUST have been a "first phase" BEFOREHAND in which God WAS FREE to make all his decisions, where God examined "possible futures", i.e. He did NOT know the WHOLE ACTUAL FUTURE above. Indeed (1) KNOWING the ACTUAL future and (2) being FREE TO DECIDE are things MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE, God can have either one, but not the two of them AT THE SAME TIME for logical reasons: if God "reserved the right" to decide to change the future whenever He likes (see (2)), this would mean He doesn't really know what will happen in the future and this is not serious. But that is not the case: when all his decisions are made - end of the first phase - God knows exactly the whole future, is happy with that and the matter is concluded FOR GOOD. God is almighty, He cannot afford mistakes, second thoughts or uncertainties for the future.
Since God is ONLY FREE TO DECIDE WHEN HE IS IN THE FIRST PHASE, this means that we have a relationship with Him when He is in that first phase! But this means we have a relationship with God WHO IS IN THE PAST, in a very distant past, the mankind was not born yet ("the world has not known you"). Thus, "No man has seen God at any time" doesn't happen because God is INVISIBLE, false ! That happens because GOD IS NOT AVAILABLE!! But from that past God is able to REACH OUT TO US here now, only with his words and actions. Since there's NO ONE HERE to speak those words, you can say that the God's presence here corresponds to the presence of a SPIRIT ("God is a spirit"): He is the SPIRIT OF GOD. From what set out above, the conclusion of the God's work in that remote past - i.e. the end of the first phase - would coincide with His SEPARATION from us, because the future known to Him would simply come true - with AUTOMATIC actions taken by his power where necessary - thus UNFOLDING without any further personal God's intervention. Instead of that no real separation occurs because - at the conclusion of his work - God gets rid of his power to become like a normal person, without any power: the Son of God. Thus, "Son" only means that Jesus DERIVES from God, He is no "normal Son" ! Therefore Jesus INHERITS the reign of God, EVERYTHING "The Father loves the Son and has given ALL THINGS into His hand.". Jesus - who is a man now - is DIFFERENT from the Father since He has now no power at all “ I from myself am not able to do a thing”. This is why He sits next to the POWER of God: He hasn't got any! However, He is NOT DISTINCT from the Father either, since He DERIVES from Him "He who has seen me has seen the Father.". Thus, for Father + Son taken together you cannot use the pronoun "He", you cannot use the pronoun "They" either. You can say that God is more than One and less than Two in number.
