A seasonal text to meditate on today. Grace and Peace.

Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9
4:14 Since, then, we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.

4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin.

4:16 Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

5:7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.

5:8 Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered;

5:9 and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,
 
I am very thankful we have such an High Priest, eternal, in the heavens, to appear before God for us CONTINUALLY, and that His once only sacrifice to satisfy divine justice has delivered us from having to observe a DAY in which a remembrance of our sins is made.

Amen. May the season in which we meditate upon this be the entire season of our lives.
 
Amen, Amen! A passage for every season!

I am very thankful we have such an High Priest, eternal, in the heavens, to appear before God for us CONTINUALLY, and that His once only sacrifice to satisfy divine justice has delivered us from having to observe a DAY in which a remembrance of our sins is made.
 
Personally, I've never found that remembering Jesus for one day is in any way opposed to continual remembrance of him, nor does it keep me from appreciating him on every other day as well.

It's a nice set of verses, Kevin. Thanks.
