DAILY READINGS: Ezra 3-4; Daniel 5; Revelation 1
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest…Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. Hebrews 4:14
The offices that our Lord bears are many and majestic. He is our Advocate, defending our justified position in the courtroom of Heaven (1 John 2:1); our merciful and faithful High Priest able to help us when we are tempted (Heb. 2:17); our Intercessor, ever-present at the right hand of God and speaking on our behalf (Rom. 8:34). Indeed, the offices He bears are wonderful—each one faithfully executed in bringing many sons to glory. —Mark Kolchin
Great are the offices He bears,
And all the forms of love He wears, exalted on His throne;
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would to everlasting days, make all His glories known. —Samuel Medley
