The Look in the Eyes of our High Priest

"It was imperative that he should be made like his brothers in nature, if he were to become a High Priest both compassionate and faithful in the things of God, and at the same time able to make atonement for the sins of the people. For by virtue of his own suffering under temptation he is able to help those who are exposed to temptation." Hebrews 2:17,18

This workweek, as you live and work and think and take meetings and go about your daily life, I want you to see Jesus as He really is. He is, right now, and in every single moment of every single one of your days, seated upon the Throne of Heaven, as a man, watching you, loving you. Can you see Him as He sits there: unshakable, unchanging? He looks upon your days with an infinite heart of compassion and steadfast faithfulness; His eyes are alight with joy that you are His. You are one that He has atoned for, personally, in His own blood. He thought of you then, and He thinks of you now. When you struggle and are tempted, He leans forward, far forward to the edge of His throne, and looks you full in the face and says, "I can relate to that. I felt that too."

That is the High Priest of the Kingdom of Heaven, and also its perfect atoning sacrifice. That is the High Priest of our days, of our lifetimes, of this very moment. 

You can trust Him with every ounce of your heart today. You can trust Him with this week.
