Jesus is our great high priest, who offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice to God, once and for all, to take away our sins and reconcile us to God. He did this not by the power of any earthly means, but by the power of the eternal Holy Spirit. His sacrifice was of infinite value because he was both fully human and fully divine. He fulfilled the law and the prophets and established a new covenant of grace and truth.

Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, we can now approach God with confidence and boldness, knowing that we are forgiven and accepted by God. We can receive God’s Holy Spirit, who helps us to live a holy and obedient life. We can serve the living God with joy and gratitude and share God’s love and mercy with others.

Jesus’ sacrifice also guarantees our future hope. He is now seated at the right hand of God, where He intercedes for us constantly. He is preparing a place for us in His Father’s house, where we will see Him face to face and enjoy His presence forever. He will come again to judge the living and the dead, and to make all things new.

Let us therefore praise and worship Jesus, our Savior and Lord, who sacrificed Himself for us, and accomplished the work of His office as the Christ. He is worthy of all glory, honor, and power, now and forever. Amen.
