DAY 14: JESUS IS THE PRIEST
The idea of a Priest was one that made total sense to the religious Jewish population and to many of us as well. We understand that a Priest is a mediator....someone who stands between us and God. Moses was such a priest and often he was very frustrated with the people's unwillingness to do what they knew was right.
When Jesus came, he came to be the final priest...the one that we have access to 24/7
Hebrews 5:9-10
And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man 1]Christ Jesus,
Hebrews 9:15
Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.
DAY 15: JESUS IS THE KING
Revelation 1:5
and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood.
Revelation 17:14
They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”
So, if Jesus is the King, no the King of Kings and Lord of Lords...what does that mean to us this Christmas season. How does this make how we live and what we do important.
