Our Great High Priest Jesus Christ

<p>Air Date: 10 08 21</p> <p> </p> <p>    Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:14–16)</p> <p> </p> <p>Hebrews 8:1  What does it mean for a person to be in Christ?  In the simplest of terms, to be in Christ means that a person’s faith in Christ places him or her in Christ.  Positionally, the person is placed in all that Christ is. Christ lived, died, and arose, so to be in Christ means that a person lives, dies, and arises in Christ. Christ is the person’s Representative, his or her Agent, Substitute, Mediator in life, death and resurrection. The person who believes in Jesus Christ is identified with Christ: counted and considered to be “in” Christ; reckoned and credited as “in” Christ.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Listen to Abiding in Christ Ministries with radio host Lesha Cantrell Monday through Friday at 6:45am (MT) on AM670, KLTT in Colorado; online at 670kltt.com; or via your mobile device on the free KLTT app. May God richly bless you as you abide in Christ</p>
