Lesson 2176

(Lesson 2176)(11-23-17)  Hebrews 7:8:23-28
    “And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.”

   Today’s quote further relates the proof that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, is the last and only hope for the lost. Jesus is the chosen priest above all others and the only one to indure forever. Everlasting salvation can be attained ONLY through faith in His perfectly righteous life and the supreme sacrifice He made by offering of that life as payment for all sin.
