Precious Child

Hebrews 4.14–5.10   Hébreux 4.14- 5.10

Genesis 47.1-27     Psalm 5      John 7. 37-52
Genèse 47.1-27      Psaume 5   Jean 7. 37-52

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the High Priest who approaches God on our behalf. That thought alone is incredible! In this passage from Hebrews, we read about a God who is so committed to us, to our salvation and our redemption that instead of watching from afar, he entered our world in all its pain and brokenness. We were not left to suffer on our own, but were joined by the divine person of Jesus Christ, who suffered as we do. Christ was tested, spat on, and betrayed by someone who claimed to love him. His body was broken in the most vile ways at his death, and he had done nothing wrong. After living completely without sin, Jesus had no cause within himself to endure what he did. He did it to answer the call to be our High Priest, to be the one who answers to God for us.

Today, to prepare as we look toward Easter, reflect on what this means for us. I invite you to sit in stillness and consider the amazing love that we read in this passage. Our God, whose mercy is offered without limit to us through Jesus, called his own Son to stand for us. Jesus, who felt sorrow and pain and desperation as we do, allowed his body to be broken to become the source of eternal salvation for us. As you move through your day, take time to remember that you are God’s precious child, and the incredible love and mercy that Jesus has already offered to you.
