If you were creating your own God, what qualities would you give him/her? Would your created God be powerful? Would your created God be good looking? Would your created God grant all your wishes? Would your created God be your best friend? How do you think that would work out?
We often designate our own Gods, even if we don’t create them. How? Our God is whomever or whatever we worship by spending our time on them. We can put people on a pedestal and worship them. We can worship material things, spending all our time on them.
The God of everything created is unlike any God we can create. After all, he created everything we see. We may think we create things, but we can’t truly create them. We can be creative in one way, but we cannot create the way God created. We take what he created and make something from them.
God sent his Son to be our high priest. He intercedes before the Father on our behalf every moment of every day. He can only do that because He is holy, He is blameless or sinless, and He is unstained by the world though He lived in the world. Our high priest is separated from us because of His sinlessness. He stands apart. He is exalted by God above all else.
Jesus is our high priest. He came down from heaven to live within His creation. Though He took on human form, He did not submit to our frailties. He overcame the weakness of the flesh to be perfect and sinless. Because of His being sinless, He was the perfect Lamb of God. Therefore, He has been exalted above everything and everyone else.
I pray we all know that Jesus intercedes for us. I pray we know He is our high priest. I pray each one of us understands Jesus is holy, blameless, undefiled, and exalted above all others. Know Jesus intercedes for you. See Jesus as your high priest. Know Jesus is blameless. Know He has been exalted above all.
Hebrews 7:26 For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
