the main point

Hebrews 7:25-8:4; Ps 40 Here I am Lord, I come to do your will; Mark 3:7-12

"The main point of what has been said is this: we have a high priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister of a sanctuary and of the true tabernacle that th eLord, not man, set up..."

This main point is this...In greek the word for main point is chief.

What does this main point of having a high priest have to do with us. In the very first part of the reading of todat the answer is given,

"Jesus is always able to save those who approach God through him, since he lives forever to make intercession for them."

so what does that mean.

Well, Jesus stands before the father and intercedes for us, which means he is caught up in an eternal conversation to the Father about us, what we need, what will strengthen us, what will enable us to surrender more fully to him.

Think about that...
We are caught up into that eternal exchange between the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit. wow!

Now when you look gospel you see Jesus folled by alarge crowd from all over, Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, Beyond the Jordan, and form Tyre and Sidon.

What a crowd! This is certain quite a gathering that helps us understand the drawing power of Christ.

Now, Jesus does something that instructs on how to go about our affairs.

The gospel relates that Jesus told "his disciples to have a boat ready, so that they would not crush him."

think about for a moment. Jesus planned ahead. He was smart enough to plan ahead. He had a plan in mind. He didn't leave to chance or wait to the last moment. He thought about what he needed and he prepared with sufficient time.

Jesus planned ahead.

so should we.

Also, Jesus plans ahead, which means when he is interceding for us, he has a plan that encapsulates the future. So even if we don't get it, doesn't mean he doesn't get it.

Get it!
