Pray this Lazaroo… in awe:

“…fix your thoughts on Jesus…the high priest…”
(Hebrews 3:1)

I don’t often think of You as my High Priest, Jesus.

But You Are!

The Great High Priest of us all.

Similar to Melchizedek, You were ordained a high priest

apart from the Law given to Moses on Mount Sinai.

Other high priests offered sacrifice each year for themselves

as well as for the people.

Not so, You.

You were the perfect, sinless sacrifice
who offered Yourself once…

for all.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“…he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a…faithful high priest…”
(Hebrews 2:17)

It’s a high honor to be high priest, Jesus.

Only a handful have served in that holy office.

Not all high priests have served well.

Some of them were swayed by jealousy, politics, pride.

Thank You for those who served conscientiously!

But there’s only One perfectly faithful High Priest –
the One who serves this day and forever:

You.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful…high priest…”
(Hebrews 2:17)

You get it, Jesus.

Better than that:
You get me.

You know why I struggle, stumble, fall.

You didn’t –

but only because You were also God!

I’m not.
So from time to time I blow it.

If You were distant, aloof

that would be a problem.

But You came

and walked in my shoes.
