We had to hire a lawyer. As homeowners we had reached an impasse with the builder concerning a water drainage problem and this seemed to be the only course of action. We knew that we needed someone else to mediate our situation, and it worked - the builder took the necessary action.
You and I have had another "lawyer" work on our behalf on a far more important case. The problem could not be more severe, but the results could not be more satisfying.
"The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing, but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently. Therefore He is able also to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. " (Hebrews 7:23-25)
Ever since our first parents sinned in the Garden of Eden an impasse has existed between the Creator and his human creation. The Law made provisions for priests to offer sacrifices on behalf of human sinners, but the priests were also sinful humans subject to the sentence of death. A better solution was needed.
Jesus offered Himself as a sacrifice once and for all to satisfy forever the demands of God's Law. His sacrifice and His ongoing work as our "lawyer" "is able also to save completely those who draw near to God through Him". Not only is His sacrifice sufficient but his work on our behalf is never-ending: "since He always lives to make intercession for them. "
All the money in the world could not buy a better lawyer than the One we have constantly working on our case. He sits at the right hand of our Creator Father, with direct constant access. At this very moment He is pleading your case and appropriating all the resources needed for you to live as a citizen of the kingdom of God today.
Live life today with the full assurance that all of God's demands for you are met in Jesus, and all the resources needed today are at your disposal. As such, "my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)
Enjoy the blessings, peace and forgiveness freely extended to you, and live a grateful life today in service to the King and His Kingdom.
