Watch The Sermon:
BIG IDEA of Hebrews:
If you are a genuine believer, your endurance in the Christian faith will be directly connected to how clearly you see who Jesus is, what He has done for you AND what He is doing for you right NOW.
BIG IDEA of the Sermon:
Hope in Jesus builds confidence because He alone is our God-appointed, superior intercessor.
Summary:
Jesus is the perfect intercessor between God and humanity, uniquely qualified through His eternal nature and sinless life. As our high priest, He was appointed directly by God and provides continual service through His completed work on the cross. His intercession includes praying for believers' unity, protection, sanctification, and ultimate glorification. Unlike temporary solutions earthly priests offer, Jesus provides permanent access to God through His perfect sacrifice.
