Hebrews 7:25 (NIV) – Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
The writer of Hebrews goes at length to make the case of Jesus being the ultimate priest that made a way for us. This absolute confidence of salvation is in Jesus alone. If that was not enough to change our lives forever, he inserts this continual work of “always living to intercede for” us. To fathom this truth is quite overwhelming. Salvation alone is so huge, now a continual intercession, continual outpouring, truly in the fashion of “from glory to glory”! Perhaps this overwhelming sense is to outdo what we feel like when hardships of life come. Perhaps his overwhelming love is to give us no chance at any other options in life.
Prayer: Jesus, thank you for the assurance of your love. We are completely secure in your salvation. And thank you for your overwhelming love. May we be so engulfed in it, so overwhelmed by it that all of who we are will give you worship and praise! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
