HE IS IN TOUCH WITH OUR REALITY

“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” Hebrews 4:15 (KJV)

 

Jesus Christ, our High Priest, is always touched with the feeling of our infirmities. That is why He always makes intercessions for you. He is at the right hand of the Majesty on High, and every time you cry, He knows. Every time you are passing through pain, He knows. That is His assignment as your high priest. He stays there to take note of your challenges, and He tells the Father: “I paid for that. I paid for this condition. I paid 100% price, and I have taken it away.” He perfects your situation in the presence of the Father.

 

Your heavenly Father sees your imperfections and challenges through the eyes of Jesus because when it passes through the hand of Jesus, it becomes perfect. Even your mistakes, weaknesses, and shortcomings, when they pass through Jesus, grace covers your errors and colours your efforts. God sees you as perfect in Christ.

 

Jesus is not dormant or docile and waiting for you to die in your situation. Even when He is silent, He is still speaking on your behalf. There is no one who knows you perfectly like He does. There is no one who can know your mistakes and the condition that you are in and still say, “I love you.” You know some people, when they find specific weaknesses about you, they will begin to be careful of you. Jesus knows all your flaws and mistakes, but despite it all, He still says, “I love you.” So don’t ever, for one moment, think that heaven has abandoned you when you are passing through challenges.

 

He said I will never leave or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). It is a double negative! The Greek word translated there indicates that God will never, never, never, ever forsake you. God is with you always. You are never alone. No matter the situation you are going through, He is always there to ensure that the end will be good.
