Jesus the Great High Priest
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Heb. 2:18, for because he himself has suffered when tempted, he able to help those who are being tempted.
For every high priest chosen from among men
is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God
to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. (This is why we still sin also, is because we are man and have weakness toward temptations)
Because of this He is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as He does for those of the people
And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.
In his days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears to Him, who was able to save Him from death
although He was a son, He learned obedience through what He suffered
And being made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him
Designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
