The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed in Hebrews 5:1; with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

Continuing with the thought of Jesus our humanity, now sitting at the right hand of the author, designer and completer of our faith, Agape Love, our Perfect High Priest. For this reason we can approach the authoritative Throne of Grace with Bold utterances. Because We are welcome there in his embrace, and are reinforced with immediate effect in times of trouble.

Hebrews 5:1-4 "For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron." (KJV)

Hebrews 5:1-4 "For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as he does for those of the people. And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was." (ESV)

Hebrews 5:1-4 "Traditionally a person would be appointed from among their fellows to fulfill the office of High Priest in presenting gifts and sacrifices before GOD on behalf of the people and for their own sins. (The High Priesthood of Christ is in sharp contrast to the system of priesthood both the Jews and Muslims are familiar with, let alone mans many imagined religious forms.) Every Jew (and all other religious forms) felt reassured by the fact that High Priests themselves were hemmed in by the same sins that snared the people they represented. By virtue of their own limitations and inadequacies they were able to sympathize with the ignorance and waywardness of the people under them. It was accepted practice that they would offer sacrifices for both their own and the people's sins. This honorable office was not by self-appointment but, as in Aaron's case, the priest was summoned to the work by GOD." (The Mirror, with editing)

We've just laid the ground work and background for what is to come next. Until we move into it, may the LORD increase our understanding and knowledge of all that we are in Christ.
