Hebrews chapter 4 verse 14 says,
Seeing then when we have a great high priest
that is passed into the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold fast our profession of faith.
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.
So Christ knows what we're going through.
He understands the temptations that we go through
in our life every day.
But see the difference between us and him
is that he was able to fend off those temptations.
He did not resist,
he resisted those temptations where we fail.
Every single one in this room has temptations
that they fail in probably every day.
And we're all tempted in different types
of points in our lives.
Some people's proclivity to sin might be to steal.
Someone also might have a proclivity to lying.
Not everybody's sin is the same.
Like we'll look at somebody else like,
I just don't understand why they just
do this all the time.
Why do they do this?
And then you're strong to that
but you're weak in some other area.
But see Christ was tempted in all those points.
He was tempted to lust just like we are
but yet he was without sin.
So that's why he's the great high priest.
That's why he is able to intercede for us with God.
And it says, verse 16,
let us therefore come boldly onto the throne of grace.
See we can come boldly to God and ask for forgiveness
but who do we go through?
Who do we confess our faults to and our sins?
We confess them through the Lord Jesus Christ.
He's our great high priest.
He takes those sins and he covers those things
with his blood.
When he put his blood on the mercy seat,
he only had to do that once.
See Aaron and the Aaronic priesthood,
they had to once a year go in and make that atonement.
But that represents the wants that Christ had to do
because the high priest died and they were human beings.
Christ was the man God, the God man.
So he ever liveth to make intercession for us.
