Mercy and Grace

 

Scripture Leviticus 14:11Then the priest who makes him clean shall present the man who is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 18b . . . So, the priest shall make  atonement for him before the Lord. 31b . . . So, the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the Lord.

Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. Hebrews 2:17

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:14-16

Observation Only The Priest can make atonement for sin.

Application Jesus the Son of God is my great high priest, my merciful and faithful High Priest, He knows and understands the struggles and temptations I face and offers mercy and grace in my time of need.

Prayer Thank You, Father, for sending Your one and only son, Jesus, to do what only He could do, to pay the price, to be the sacrifice  for my sin. Thank You for being gracious and merciful to me.
