In this section, the Hebrew writer discusses the priesthood of Jesus and aims to demonstrate its superiority over the Mosaic system. The purpose is to convince Jewish Christians not to abandon Christ’s priesthood. To achieve this, the author will explain Christ’s intercessory work in three parts: His priesthood, His tabernacle and service, and His sacrifice (See Hebrews 4:14-10:39). The role of a priest is to act as an intermediary between God and men. The writer argues that Jesus is the perfect High Priest who can fulfill this role best, and he is about to offer evidence to support this claim.

14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 

15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 

16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

~ Hebrews 4:14-16

Holy God and Father, thank You for strengthening my faith in Jesus as Your Son and in His role as an intercessor between me and You. It is indeed comforting to know that Jesus understands our weaknesses and has been tempted like us, but without sinning. I pray that You grant me further strength to overcome any obstacles that come our way and guide me toward a life that is more like Jesus. May I remember that Your grace is always available to those who seek it, and You are ready to provide us with the tools and convictions necessary to overcome any challenges. Keep my faith strong, always, and may You bless us abundantly. Amen
