Hebrews 7:17-28 ● Why do we need a Priest? ● How is Jesus Christ the Priest we need? ● What difference will it make if you receive Him as Priest? V25 - a key word that talks about Jesus’ work - “Intercede.” “For years I looked at life like a case at law. It was a series of proofs. When you were young you proved how brave you were, or smart. Then later on what a good lover you are. Later you prove what a good father or husband you are. Finally you prove how wise or powerful or whatever. But underlying it all, I see now I always made an assumption that when moved on some kind of upward path toward some elevation where I don’t know what, I could be justified or condemned - a verdict at any rate. I think my disaster began when I looked up one day and I realized the bench was empty. No judge in sight and all that remained was the endless argument with myself. This pointless litigation of existence with an empty bench, which of course is another way of saying, despair.” - Arthur Miller, Playwright 1 John 1:8-9
