0894. Christ Our High Priest

Christ Our High Priest

The Conditions of Christ's Priesthood (Heb_5:1).

The Offering of Christ, as Priest (Heb_9:11-14).

Every Type of Priestly Offerings Fulfilled in Christ (1Pe_1:19-20).

Christ an Intercessory High Priest (Heb_7:24-25).

Christ's High-Priestly Accomplishments (Heb_11:10, Heb_11:14).

Christ Our King-Priest (Psa_110:4).

There are three places where faith sees Christ. We see Christ walking among men, we see Christ seated at the right hand of the Father, and we see Christ coming in the clouds of Heaven. Of course, we must recognize that the Christ Whom we see in this threefold vision is the same Christ Who was with the Father throughout all the ages past. He is the Jehovah, Who was, and Who is, and Who is to come. It is the purpose of this lesson to study Christ more particularly in His present office as our Great High Priest. There are many who live almost exclusively around the Cross. They seem never to have gotten on to resurrection ground. They can sing "At the Cross, at the Cross, where I first saw the light," but they know nothing of singing about Christ's priesthood. The women went out to the sepulchre expecting to find a dead and buried Master; but the angel said, "He is not here. He is risen." Let the unsaved go to the Cross that their sins may be washed away, but let us go beyond the Cross to the living, ascended, and seated Lord, that He may supply us with every blessing in the Heavenlies, and fully equip us for every conflict among men on the earth below.
