My friends, we've got a high priest and he is seated at the right hand of the father and he knows what you're going through. And when you're going through it, run to Jesus. Don't run away from him. Run to Jesus. Run boldly to Jesus and you'll find grace to help you in your time of need. You say, but I run to him so much. You're going wear him out? Are you going to wear him out? Hebrews seven twenty five, we'll close with this verse, Therefore, he's able to save completely those who come to God through him since he always, mark this, always lives to intercede for them.

He was betrayed also. He was hated also. He was lied about also. He was abandoned also. He felt alone also. He suffered also, but he is with you. So, when you feel abandoned, when you feel lonely, when you feel nervous, when you feel these things, understand he is a sympathetic priest. He will never leave you. He'll never forsake you. He's always with you. He will help you. He gives the Holy Spirit to help you. He's seated at the right hand of the Father. He intercedes for you, and he is your high priest.

And the questions that we're going to come to today is in this message is, are you living in anxiety or are you living in security? Are you trusting in yourself, are you trusting in society, or are you trusting in Jesus as Lord and savior of your life? That he holds you, he has you, he will protect you and take care of you. Do you know Jesus as your savior? Is he your master and your king? And understand that you have a high priest, and that is Jesus Christ, our savior.

Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus shared in these, he became a man like us. So that through his death, he might destroy the one holding the power of death, that is the devil, and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death. He disarmed Satan, defanged him, all of his power is gone. Life and death was always held by God himself, but he's a liar, he's a fearmonger, he's a thief, and he's a murderer.

But then he goes on to say, and he almost begs the question, but as it is, we do not yet see everything subjected to him. What happened? Man fell. The fall was devastating. When the man and woman sinned against holy God and disobeyed him, it brought death and destruction, and it messed up the whole created order of the world. But with Jesus coming back, he's the second Adam. He has won the victory, and he's restoring order in this world. [01:11:36] (37 seconds)  #RestorationThroughChrist Download clip

I'm telling you something, folks. King Jesus, he won the victory. King Jesus did what we could never do. He lived a perfect life. King Jesus died in our stead. King Jesus was buried. King Jesus rose rose again. King Jesus has called us unto salvation. King Jesus brings us to God. King Jesus is with us and never leaves us or forsakes us. King Jesus is the author of our salvation. King Jesus gives us the glory that he has from his father. King Jesus will allow us to see Jesus in all of his glory. [01:15:38] (45 seconds)  #JesusAuthorOfSalvation Download clip

Not only that, secondly, he leads us to salvation. You can't save yourself, you can't find salvation, he leads you to salvation. He leads the way. He leads the way to God. He's the only way. Jesus said, I am the way and the truth and life. No man comes to the father but through me. There's only one way to salvation, and that's through Jesus Christ.

Doesn't always happen, does it? But sometimes it does. You might say this is all just myth, Then you better discount a whole bunch of God's word if you say that's myth. I'm telling you, don't demythologize your Bible. We have a supernatural God and his power is real. Amen? Now, stay with me. Jesus is greater than angels. I'm telling you, angels are spirits. They are sent, and they serve us, and they serve God's purposes. [01:08:18] (50 seconds)  #JesusGreaterThanAngels Download clip

And said, we were on our way to destroy everyone in the school at the Christian Academy. But when we got closer, all of a sudden, between us and the school were huge, towering men dressed in white and flaming swords, and we were afraid, and we hid. Doesn't always happen, does it? But sometimes it does. You might say this is all just myth, Then you better discount a whole bunch of God's word if you say that's myth. I'm telling you, don't demythologize your Bible. We have a supernatural God and his power is real. Amen? Now, stay with me. Jesus is greater than angels. I'm telling you, angels are spirits. They are sent, and they serve us, and they serve God's purposes. I want you to know Jesus is greater because his ministry is greater than any angel. [01:07:49] (86 seconds) Download clip
