MEDITATING
Hebrews 8:1-13Devotional:- “But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises” (V. 6) NKJV
In the Old Testament, the human priest used to stand in the gap between God and man. But because they are also human and can also sin, their priesthood was not able to actually deliver the human race. This is the ministry Jesus is carrying out on behalf of the believers since His ascension to heaven.
This ministry was taken over by Jesus because He loves us. Though He is seated on the throne but sitting closely to the Father to advocate for us. A mediator is someone who stands in the gap between the benefactor and the beneficiary. He is the one who pleads our cause to God. He is the one who intercedes for us before the Father. That is why we can be certain of our faith in God through Christ Jesus.
Friend, since we know that we have Christ Jesus standing in for us, then our faith in the promises of the word of God should be stronger. Our hope in God should be firmer. He is not a man who will forget your case (Isaiah 49:15). That is why He is always asking us to state our case before Him in prayer (Isaiah 43:4), so that He can take it up before the Father. Jesus is walking on your matter. He will soon be through, and your letter of joy shall be delivered. Hold onto your faith in Him; you will never be ashamed.
Prayer: Lord, let my hope ever be in you.
THE VICTORY OF YOUR CASE IS DETERMINED BY THE CALIBER OF WHO IS STANDING IN FOR YOU”
