VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. JESUS CHRIST is the Perfectly Adapted High Priest

"[Here is] the High Priest [perfectly adapted] to our needs,"

From Greek, it means "High Priest who became like us", human with body and blood.

High Priest is "archiereus" [noun, masculine] in Greek meaning:

1. chief priest, high priest - He above all others was honoured with the title of priest, the chief of priests. It was lawful for him to perform the common duties of the priesthood; but his chief duty was, once a year on the day of atonement, to enter into the Holy of Holies (from which the other priests were excluded) and offer sacrifices for his own sins and the sins of the people, and to preside over the Sanhedrin, or Supreme Council, when convened for judicial deliberations.

2. the high priests, these comprise in addition to one holding the high priestly office, both those who had previously discharged it and although disposed, continued to have great power in the State, as well as the members of the families from which high priest were created, provided that they had much influence in public affairs.

3. Used of Christ because by undergoing a bloody death he offered himself as an expiatory sacrifice to God, and has entered into the heavenly sanctuary where he continually intercedes on our behalf.

Hebrews 7:11 (Amplified Bible)

7:11 Now if perfection (a perfect fellowship between God and the worshiper) had been attainable by the Levitical priesthood—for under it the people were given the Law—why was it further necessary that there should arise another and different kind of Priest, one after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one appointed after the order and rank of Aaron?

Luke 24:26 (Amplified Bible)

24:26 Was it not necessary and essentially fitting that the Christ (the Messiah) should suffer all these things before entering into His glory (His majesty and splendor)?

Luke 24:46 (Amplified Bible)

24:46 And said to them, Thus it is written that the Christ (the Messiah) should suffer and on the third day rise from (among) the dead,

Hosea 6:1-2 (Amplified Bible)

6:1 COME AND let us return to the Lord, for He has torn so that He may heal us; He has stricken so that He may bind us up.

6:2 After two days He will revive us (quicken us, give us life); on the third day He will raise us up that we may live before Him.

Isaiah 26:19 (Amplified Bible)

26:19 Your dead shall live [O Lord]; the bodies of our dead [saints] shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For Your dew [O Lord] is a dew of [sparkling] light [heavenly, supernatural dew]; and the earth shall cast forth the dead [to life again; for on the land of the shades of the dead You will let Your dew fall].

Galatians 2:20 (Amplified Bible)

2:20 I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

We are in CHRIST in the time that He was crucified and was hanging on the cross, He took away all our sicknesses, diseases, weaknesses of this body against sin, and we are raised up with Him. He is, was and the soon coming Chief High Priest of all priests.

B. JESUS CHRIST, Fitting High Priest

1. holy

2. blameless

3. unstained by sin

4. separated from sinners

5. exalted higher than the heavens

"as was fitting—holy, blameless, unstained by sin, separated from sinners, and exalted higher than the heavens"

Hebrews 4:15 (Amplified Bible)

4:15 For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.

Hebrews 9:14 (Amplified Bible)

9:14 How much more surely shall the blood of Christ, Who by virtue of [His] eternal Spirit [His own preexistent divine personality] has offered Himself as an unblemished sacrifice to God, purify our consciences from dead works and lifeless observances to serve the [ever] living God?

Isaiah 53:9 (Amplified Bible)

53:9 And they assigned Him a grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in His death, although He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth.

1 Peter 2:22-24 (Amplified Bible)

2:22 He was guilty of no sin, neither was deceit (guile) ever found on His lips.

2:23 When He was reviled and insulted, He did not revile or offer insult in return; [when] He was abused and suffered, He made no threats [of vengeance]; but he trusted [Himself and everything] to Him Who judges fairly.

2:24 He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.

Our LORD JESUS CHRIST was there with us, in the flesh, so He can save us completely our spirit, soul and body.

Romans 15:3 (Amplified Bible)

15:3 For Christ did not please Himself [gave no thought to His own interests]; but, as it is written, The reproaches and abuses of those who reproached and abused you fell on Me.

1 Peter 3:9 (New International Version)

3:9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

Abused, insulted people in return abuse and insult other people as well, but in our case, we are not the ones abused and insulted but CHRIST, so therefore we can easily bless them.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Thank You LORD JESUS! My LORD JESUS CHRIST is my Perfect High Priest perfectly adapted to my human needs, and my LORD JESUS CHRIST is my Pattern of Holiness, Blamelessness, and I'm exalted with Him in the Heavens. And now I am sitting together with CHRIST in His Heavenly Throne.

Ephesians 2:6 (Amplified Bible)

2:6 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
