Christ as Priest (Hebrews 7:23-28) [Peace]

This second week of Advent, we now look at the picture called Priest. Christ is our Great High Priest and that changes everything. We will look at Hebrews 7 as the author paints for us the Old Testament origins of the priesthood and its goodness but also its incompleteness. We need a perfect priest and a priest who finished the work of purification, once and for all. So, we see that Jesus is and always was the ultimate and forever priest who not only leads but actually is the purity of God's people. And, among other things, that brings PEACE (the theme of the second Sunday of advent), forever peace, powerful peace, experienced peace.
