And now, a minute with the Word…

Revelation 5 presents Jesus, “the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, [and the One who] has prevailed” (verse 5) by His resurrection from the dead. Under the Old Testament, “there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. But [Jesus], because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever” (Hebrews 7.23-28).
