Jesus went through the veil, not the holy of holies, the veil separating the holy place from the holy of holies, but Jesus went through another veil. He went through the heavens. He is not in a tabernacle made with hands. Jesus entered into heaven for us. He made atonement for us. He satisfied a holy god for us, and he is seated and his work is done for us, and he intercedes for us in the very presence of holy god. [00:45:18] (41 seconds)  #HighPriestInHeaven Download clip

It's not the throne of wrath. It's the throne of grace. That's what God has for you. You have a great high priest, and he can meet the deepest needs of your life. Run to him. He's for you. He's not against you. If God be for us, who can be against us? Amen? It's the throne of grace. Why is it the throne of grace? Because Jesus paid it all.

Did you know there's never a day that Jesus isn't praying for you? Exactly. In Hebrews chapter seven and verse 25, Therefore, he's able to save completely those who come to god through him since he always, always lives to intercede for them. Jesus always lives to intercede for you. [01:07:45] (33 seconds)  #JesusAlwaysPrays Download clip

He knows what it's like to be a man. He knows what it's like that we go through. He understands the weight. He identifies with you. Not only is he identifying with you and sympathetic toward you, but he's helpful to you. That's indeed what he is. He he he comes to help you. He he he helps you because he's approachable. Notice in verse number 16, he says, therefore, let us approach the throne of god grace with boldness. [00:55:19] (29 seconds)  #ApproachWithBoldness Download clip

The trials and temptations that Jesus really felt in the end prove that he was the pure son of God. No sin in him. Hallelujah. What a savior. He is sympathetic toward us. This is how he's different. He feels. He feels with us. He feels for you. We have one who's sympathetic in all that we go through, And that's what it says in verse number 15, for we do not have a high priest who's unable to sympathize.

Let me tell you, Moses' arms got fatigued because he was just a man. Let me tell you about this one seated in heaven whose arms never fatigue, and that's Jesus Christ, the son of God, and he lives to make intercession for us. Hallelujah. What a savior. What a king. What a priest. [00:44:03] (26 seconds)  #JesusNeverTires Download clip

He's superior in his person. He is Jesus. His name is Jesus, meaning Jehovah is salvation, and he's called the son of God. He is the great high priest not because he's son of man, indeed he is son of man, not because he's the son of Adam, not because he's the son of David, not because he's the son of Abraham, because he is the son of God. It eclipses all other names. [00:40:25] (30 seconds)  #SonOfGodSavior Download clip

After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting against it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would be like an hour later. That's why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness.

He is sympathetic toward us. This is how he's different. He feels. He feels with us. He feels for you. We have one who's sympathetic in all that we go through, And that's what it says in verse number 15, for we do not have a high priest who's unable to sympathize but have been tempted in every way. Jesus feels with you. He cares for you. He's not detached. He knows what it's like to be a man. He knows what it's like that we go through. He understands the weight. He identifies with you. Not only is he identifying with you and sympathetic toward you, but he's helpful to you. That's indeed what he is. He he he comes to help you. He he he helps you because he's approachable.
