WE SEE JESUS

 Hebrews 2:9

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Did you know that when God first made man, He crowned man with "glory and honor" (Psalm 8:5)?

But when Adam sinned against God, the glory left him. From then on, the devil could bring sin, sickness and poverty to rule over man.

Beloved, I have good news for you today. As a believer in Christ, God's glory has been restored to you.

 

1. Jesus Crown with Glory and Honor

         Hebrews 2:10

Bringing Many Sons to Glory

10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings

That is why today when God looks at you in Christ, He sees you altogether beautiful and He says there is no flaw in you (see Song of Solomon 4:7).  The Bible is very clear that Jesus came to bring you back to glory. Hebrews 2:10 says:

“For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory...”

When we crown Jesus with glory and honor – he release back the glory and honor to us the Church. We crown the HEAD and the BODY of JESUS (CHURCH) receives it also.

 

2. Jesus the Apostle and High Priest

        Hebrews 3:1

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

As an Apostle, or God’s messenger, he pleads the cause of God with us; and as High-Priest, he pleads our cause with God. Both are contained in the one word Mediator. Jesus is called the Apostle, because he was sent by God to reveal it; and the High-Priest, because we receive its blessings through his mediation.

We are not to go back to our earth priesthood that offers their services – even today many earthly priesthood in many religions.  We have ONE HIGH PRIEST ABOVE ALL. 

 

3. Jesus the High Priest

      Hebrew 6:20

“ … where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Jesus made a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek – The word Melchizedek is the highest order of high priesthood.  Not the Levitical priesthood – Aaronic priesthood.

As I said the Church has entered into this type of Ministry. This is a perfect Priesthood ministry greater that of the Aaron ministry. The Melchizedek priesthood gives to man, whereas the Aaronic priesthood takes from man. The Throne room ministry feeds us, strengthen us and refreshes us. But the other ministry condemns us. The ministry that blesses and another one that curses and judges us.

This Melchizedek ministry flows out of the indwelling Christ, it flows from the heart and not the intellect. This anointing Throne room ministry will be caught, and not taught; it must be imparted spirit to spirit. When we speak, we speak in the realm of the Spirit.

 

4. Jesus – Surety of a Better Covenant

                  Hebrews. 7:22

“The Lord has sworn And will not relent,

‘You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek’ ”, 22 by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant. 23 Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. 24 But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

 

5. Jesus the New and Living Way

Hebrews 10:19-22

“Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith …”

I guarantee you, when you come into Jesus’ sweet presence with all your challenges, failings, and struggles, He is not going to roar at you. He is going to love you into wholeness and set you on a trajectory of freedom from all your fears, guilt, and addictions. Jesus is the end of all your struggles!

Jesus ways is a Living Way not a Deadlock Way – Everywhere you turn to there is life in His blood. As a High Priest in the house of God we can draw near to a Living God not an dead god or idols.

 

6. Jesus the Author and Finisher of Faith

          Hebrews 12:2

“...looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

My friend, the key to faith is found in looking to the source of faith—Jesus. As the Bible says, “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith” (Heb. 12:2, NASB). Your faith to believe is found in Jesus! Jesus took away your sins and mine and threw to the sea or ocean.  “I remember your sins no more.”  Not some more.

In other words, turn your eyes away from your own flaws, imperfections, failings, and mistakes, and just fix your eyes on Jesus. The more you see Jesus and His finished work, the more faith arises in your heart to believe that all your sins are truly forgiven. You can start on a clean slate and have a brand-new beginning in Christ. The old is gone, and the new has come!  The new and living way has come to set you free from condemnation and guilt.

 

7. Jesus  Mediator of New Covenant

       Hebrews 12:24 “… to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.”

We learn here that blood has a voice - it goes beyond DNA and scientific discoveries about blood. Although blood is the physically manifested, it is spiritual in nature. Jesus blood speaks better than of Abel – When Cain killed Abel his blood cried out “Vengeance, Vengeance”. When Jesus shed blood it cries out “Forgiveness, Forgiveness, “ Grace, Grace, & Righteousness, Righteousness or Peace.

Jesus blood speaks better than of Abel.  Jesus blood speaks of His Grace for you and me. Jesus blood is a weapon and covering today.
