Hebrews 7
Imagine you are on trial for a crime that could put you in prison for the rest of your life. Now imagine who you would want in that courtroom. Friends? Maybe. Family? Sure. But you would really want the world’s best attorney! Entering court alone and representing yourself didn’t even cross your mind.
This is the pastoral plea of Hebrews 7. Our forgiveness depends on our advocate, Jesus Christ. But there is so much more. Not only does Jesus secure our freedom to live life as an ex-con, but he also makes us stunningly beautiful in the eyes of God. So many times, we focus on what the gospel saves us from and miss the glory of what the gospel saves us for – This is the message of Hebrews 7.
