Jesus Christ: High Priest of New Covenant by His Blood

"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21And having an high priest over the house of God; 22Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10: 19-26)

Jesus did not just die for our sins on the Cross.

He now sits at the right hand of the Father as our high priest, one whose office will never end, a minister of the New Covenant through His blood shed for us.

These three elements are crucial to our walk in Christ, that we may grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord.

We can enter into the Holy of Holies because of Jesus blood, a blood that keeps on cleansing us from sin (1 John 1: 7)

We enter through a new and living way, through Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14: 6).

We receive all things in Christ because of the New Covenant:

"This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." (Hebrews 10: 16-17)

He will be our God, and we shall be His people because all our sins are forgiven forever!

He is our High Priest, who justifies us before God the Father, who ministers on our behalf, through whom we receive all things (Romans 8: 31-34)

See Jesus forever as your High Priest, that through His Blood He has established the New Covenant.
