Hebrews 3:1-2 Faithful!

Hebrews 3:1-2 (KJV)  Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. 

Christ was faithful as a Son to the heavenly Father to fulfil the mission of securing our salvation by His sacrifice on our behalf. We are holy in the sight of God because of what Christ did to bear our sins. Christ was sent by the Father when He entered human history in the incarnation.

John 1:1-2 (KJV)  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. 

John 1:14 (KJV)  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 

Christ was the High Priest to bring us to God, as our Mediator – 1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV)  For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 

Hebrews 9:15 (KJV)  And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 

Christ was both the High Priest and the Sacrifice offered for our sins. He said these last words on the cross before He died, “It is finished.”

Thank God our Lord bore the infinite penalty of God’s judgment for sin on our behalf, faithfully fulfiling His mission. Amen.
