5 Minutes of Hope

DO NOT LET the sordid shenanigans of a handful of charlatans who call themselves priests cause you to condemn ALL priests.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a priest as:

Hello friend and welcome to 5 Minutes of Hope.

Today’s topic is: The Perfect Priest

How many times have we heard THIS: “Well, nobody’s perfect?”

BAAAAAHHH! WRONG

Listen to THIS description of THIS priest:

Hebrews 4 from the Amplified version reads:

BLESS GOD! The PERFECT Priest!

Did you catch all that? IKR?

Let’s try to unpack this portion of holy Scripture.

1. He is a GREAT high priest. Not in anyway ordinary, Him. He is GREAT. 🎶 GREAT is the LORD, and greatly to be praised…
2. He has ASCENDED. Jesus was mercilessly murdered on a cruel cross, placed in a tomb but He AROSE from the dead and ascended to the Father. 🎶 UP from the grave He arose…
3. Let us HOLD FAST our confession of faith and CLING TENACIOUSLY to our trust in Him. 🎶 … I will CLING to the old rugged cross…
4. For we DO NOT have a high priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations for HE was tempted in EVERY way we are YET… Jesus the God-man NEVER sinned.
5. Therefore let us APPROACH the throne of grace with CONFIDENCE and WITHOUT fear. BOLDLY, child of God. Talk to Him and don’t be afraid to be honest. You can’t SNOW God! 🎶 … tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus…
6. So that we may RECEIVE mercy and FIND grace in our time of need. 🎶 He may not come when you want Him but He comes on time…

Oh, CHILD OF GOD… WHAT an invitation!

Quit acting like an orphan.

Quit acting like a vagabond.

Quit acting… PERIOD!

Mighty God, what an awesome privilege that we can boldly approach Your throne at ANY time. Help us trust You. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Friend, may you be FILLED with hope today and share it with others.
