Jesus- High Priest of the Heavenly Sanctuary.


Heb 9:11  But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building

Our Savior became a high priest. 

Heb 2:17  Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 

Our Savior is a merciful and faithful high priest.

Heb 3:1  Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus

The High Priest of our profession, our Savior, Christ Jesus.

Heb 4:15  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 

Our Savior, a high priest touched with the feelings of OUR infirmities.
Our Savior, a high priest, tempted like we are.
Our Savior, our high priest, sinless!

Heb 5:5  So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 
Heb 5:6  As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 

The Heavenly Father- after agreeing to this with God who became the Son-  was TOLD - Thou art my Son, TODAY have I begotten thee.

The Heavenly Father- TOLD our Savior, Thou art a priest.

Heb 8:1  Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 
Heb 8:2  A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 
Heb 8:3  For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. 
Heb 8:4  For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law

Our Savior- our high priest.
Our High Priest- on the right hand of the Heavenly Father's throne in the heavens of heavens.
Our High Priest- a MINISTER of the SANCTUARY
Our High Priest- a MINISTER of the TRUE TABERNACLE- the LORD pitched NOT man.
Our Savior- our High Priest- Sacrificed HIMSELF- OFFERED HIMSELF.

Heb 8:5  Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. 

Moses was an example- a shadow of heavenly things.
Moses was told to make sure he made the tabernacle according to the pattern showed to Him.

Heb 8:6  But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 

Our Savior- our High Priest of a MORE excellent ministry.
Our Savior- our High Priest- THE mediator of a BETTER covenant.

Heb 8:7  For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 

Our Savior - our High Priest- MINISTER of the faultless covenant.

Heb 8:8  For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 
Heb 8:9  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 
Heb 8:10  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 
Heb 8:11  And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 
Heb 8:12  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 
Heb 8:13  In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. 

Our Savior- our High Priest- Minister of the faultless, new covenant doing away with the old sacrificial system.
Our Savior- our High Priest- Minister of the faultless, new covenant - PUTS HIS LAWS in our MINDS, WRITES the LAW on our HEARTS.

Our Savior- our High Priest- instructs us to TEACH others to KNOW the LORD.

Our Savior- our High Priest- MERCIFUL to our unrighteousness.
Our Savior- our High Priest- FORGIVES us our sin, our iniquities.

The old covenant, sacrificial system ruled the way of life of the chosen people of God. They lived and breathed the rituals handed down from generation to generation. The rituals were no longer done from the heart, out of love to God. The rituals were perverted time and time again through Israel's history they strayed from the heart of the covenant until it was so far from the reality of what God intended, it was no longer effective. 

A new and better covenant was necessary, and that was through Our Savior, Jesus Christ, Our High Priest.

More on this tomorrow by the grace, the will of our Lord, now and forever!!!!!!! All glory, praise, and thanksgiving unto our Father in Heaven!
