CMHP: Christ Our Better Mediator—Eternally Loved, Eternally Accepted, Eternally Joined

Description

In this message, we understand the purpose of priesthood. A holy God desired to relate to sinful man, but man’s sin nature meant death in His presence. Priesthood was God’s system to bridge that gap. To understand this, we first consider what it means that God is holy. Holiness is not defined by sin or its absence—God is holy simply because He is. To be holy means to be set apart, uncommon, distinct from all else. His very being is holy, and everything He pulsates is holy.From this foundation, we see the weight of Christ’s priesthood. Christ is our High Priest, our better mediator, who has perfectly bridged the gap between a holy God and sinful man. Through Him, we who were once enemies can now boldly relate to God. Our identity in Christ makes this possible—His sacrifice secured our access. Because Christ is our High Priest, we stand in righteousness, not fear, and commune with God freely. Understanding this truth highlights the relevance and privilege of having a living relationship with Him. Listen and be blessed. Shalom.
