People, those who will believe Him get what Jesus Christ paid for.

Hebrews 7:23-28 “23 There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. 24 But because Jesus lives forever, His priesthood lasts forever. 25 Therefore He is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.26 He is the kind of high priest we need because He is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has been set apart from sinners and has been given the highest place of honor in heaven. 27 Unlike those other high priests, He does not need to offer sacrifices every day. They did this for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people. But Jesus did this once for all when He offered himself as the sacrifice for the people’s sins. 28 The law appointed high priests who were limited by human weakness. But after the law was given, God appointed His Son with an oath, and His Son has been made the perfect High Priest forever.”

Only a divine, perfect and eternal Priest could make THE sacrifice that would save forever ALL who would come to God through Him. Jesus’ Priesthood was not one due to His genealogy. He was appointed by God, to be THE Priest who would make that final, once for all time and eternity sacrifice of Himself for the sin of the whole world. On the cross, Jesus Christ received into His own sinless self the sin of the whole of humanity, for all time. Nothing was left undealt with in His sacrifice of Himself. He received into Himself the sum-total of the poison of all the sin and brokenness that humanity would compile and amass during the whole of time and history.

Jesus didn’t merely cover over the wreckage of our lives He took it away. He tells us that He has, by His sacrifice once offered, washed us clean, forgiven us ALL our sin, even those things we have yet to commit, all our darkness and shameful moments of life. He has removed them as far as the east of from the west. He has made us holy, blameless and beyond reproach. What Jesus did was an eternal act, a complete act to the uttermost, everywhere and always. No other sacrifice will ever be needed again, ever!

Jesus Christ lives eternally and intercedes for us forever. He is, Himself, our salvation. His life lived in us by the Holy Spirit is our hope and confidence that our lives will be transformed to be like His own life. What a Savior!
