Since then we have a high great priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confessions. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we have, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:14-15. Christ was raised, ascended, (Passed through the heavens) and sits at God’s right hand, where He ministers as our great and eternal high priest. Again, we are reminded of perseverance (let us hold fast to our confessions). This (in every respect has been tempted) is a vivid reinstatement of vs.2:17, 18. As temptation is again mentioned, the author is careful to add that Christ was “without sin” despite His knowledge of our weakness. They say the first step is acknowledging you have a problem in the first place. Jesus is well aware of our weakness. Perhaps the greatest obstacle in our lives is our failure to recognize the depths of our own weakness. Until we are able to grasp this I’m not sure we can fully recognize and appreciate His position as high priest or His sympathy for our weakness. Today, search yourself, own, confess, and turn a weakness in your life over to Christ, your great high priest.
