Q4. (Hebrews 7:26-28) How is Jesus described in verse 26?
In verse 26 Jesus is described as being holy, blameless, pure, set apart and exalted.

How does Jesus differ from human high priests?
Jesus differ from human high priests in that they have to present a sacrifice for atonement on a daily basis for a specific group of people, whereas Jesus did it for the entire human race once and for all. The human priest also had sin to be atoned for but Jesus is sinless. Finally, where there is weakness found in the human priest and his sacrifice, none can be found in Jesus who has been made perfect forever.

What about Jesus' role as High Priest gives you special confidence?
The perfectness of Jesus' role as High Priest gives me all the confidence that I need. Perfection is the ultimate goal and Jesus did that; completing the Father's will and is now sitting on the right hand of the Father making intercession for me. Praise God!

Q4. (Hebrews 7:26-28) How is Jesus described in verse 26? How does Jesus differ from human high priests? What about Jesus' role as High Priest gives you special confidence?

Verse 26 tells us Jesus is HOLY, BLAMELESS, PURE, SET APART, EXALTED.

In the Old Testament times when animals were sacrificed, they were cut in pieces, the parts were washed, the fat was burned , the blood was sprinkled, and the meat was boiled. Blood was demanded as atonement for sins, and God accepted animal blood to cover the people's sins ( Leviticus 17: 11 ) Because of the sacrificial system, the Israelites were generally aware that sin costs someone something and that they themselves were sinful. Many people take Christ's work on the cross for granted. They don't realize how costly it was for Jesus to secure our forgiveness-- It cost him His life and painful, temporary separation from His father.

Because Jesus died once for all , He brought the sacrificial system to an end, He forgave sins-past, present, and future. Because Christ the perfect sacrifice completed the work of redemption He is my High Priest and I don't have to look for any other way to have my sins forgiven. Christ was the final sacrifice for me.

[charisbarak]

In v. 26 he is described as holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

Unlike human priests He is perfect, He lives forever & He only had to sacrifice one time for all persons.

Jesus, who died for me, loves me as I am. Who else I know could I trust in & hope in as my priest?

Q4. (Hebrews 7:26-28) How is Jesus described in verse 26? How does Jesus differ from human high priests? What about Jesus' role as High Priest gives you special confidence?

Jesus is described as Holy (without blemish), harmless (no guile or deceit in Him), undefiled (has not submitted to temptation), separate from sinners (in a unique and different class altogether), higher than the heavens (of a different origin and habitat).

Jesus does not have to make a sacrifice for His own sins, since there weren't any. Unlike any other priest, He became His own sacrifice, and being perfect, satisfied for all time the requirement of blood. He took His own blood into the Holy place, and it was found acceptable as the propitiation of sin for al time.

I think the completeness of Jesus' offering gives me confidence. God never does anything by halves. It is all done. It is totally complete. My sin is covered for all time in Jesus. All that is now required is for me to finish the race. For that I have Jesus by my side, advocating for me to "our Father". I am in a great position and I wouldn't give it up for anything! I can look forward with great joy to the wedding feast of the Lamb, and for that I'm keeping oil in my lamp! All my eggs in this one basket is just fine with me!

Q4. (Hebrews 7:26-28) How is Jesus described in verse 26? How does Jesus differ from human high priests? What about Jesus' role as High Priest gives you special confidence?

"26Such a high priest meets our need -- one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

He is described as Holy,with out sin, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, and raised above the heavens.

He differs from human priest in that He is sinless there is no sacrifice for Him, He sacrificed only once for all sin, where human priest had to do it yearly,He was made perfect for ever in giving up His life for us He obtined a greater place at the right hand of the Father.

He is our eternal intercessor, always making intercession to the Father for His people. His prayer that where He is we will also be will be fulfilled in the Father's time and it will be a glorious day for the saints. He is our overseer and protector, He is our provider. He not only interceeds for us but gives us all our needs at just the right time. He is our salvation, and righteousness, without Him and His mercy and love we would all be lost.

[JustJeff]

Jesus is perfect, in spirit and in flesh. No priest on earth can make that claim. As such I am fully pursuaded that nothing can separate me from the confidence I have in my Savior, Lord and Master.

[masika]

Christ is superior to the priests, and His priesthood is seperior to their priesthood. He is Holy, blameless, unstained by sin.
I have confidence in Christ's role as High Priest because He is always at God's right hand, interceding for me. He is always avaliable to hear when I pray.

Q4. (Hebrews 7:26-28) How is Jesus described in verse 26? How does Jesus differ from human high priests? What about Jesus' role as High Priest gives you special confidence?

In verse 26, Jesus is Holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners and exalted by God above the heavens as our most perfect High Priest. Jesus atoned for all of our sons, once, on the Cross. He reached His goal for us once and for all by offering Himself. Human high priests make offerings daily (they never offer themselves). A human high priest makes atonement offerings for himself first and then for the people. Jesus was and is perfect and He sacrificed His very life for us totally. Jesus is made perfect forever and is in God's power and glory. Human priests are just as weak as all of us. Jesus, our perfect and Holy Saviour will never let us down. He will never weaken. He will always be there for us and we are totally confident in Him as always doing the will of God for us.

[June]

As a High Priest that is holy, blameless, pure, sinless and set apart, exalted above the heavens.
Jesus does not need to offer sacrifices daily. He sacrificed Himself ONCE FOR ALL.
I know that Jesus is interceding on my behalf, and that He died so I could have ETERNAL SALVATION.

[Craig]

Jesus is described as: holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. Human high priests are not permanent, set apart from sinners or exalted above the heavens. In addition, they made sacrifices for their sins as well as the people. Jesus is the perfect High Priest and has my total confidence.

[Loisb]

1. Jesus is the High Priest who is holy, blameless, without sin, exalted above the heavens and has been made perfect forever.

2. Jesus is different from human priests because he make sacrifices for sin only once, only for the people and not himself, and he has been made perfect forever.

3. It gives me confidence to know that Jesus died and rose once for our sins; and since he is our High Priest forever, as long as we are obedient, we know that we have eternal salvation.

Q4. (Hebrews 7:26-28) How is Jesus described in verse 26?
"Holy" "Blameless" Pure, Set Apart, Exalted


How does Jesus differ from human high priests?

Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.


What about Jesus' role as High Priest gives you special confidence?Our salvation was costly, but now it is eternal salvation, it is "once for all," and we are the ever-grateful recipients of God's largess in Christ Jesus. This is the very good news of the gospel!

[PCHRIS]

Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.

Christ is eternal and made the only sacrifice needed for us, Himself.
While earthly priests are temporary and have to keep making daily sacrifices for themselves and the people.

Quote - "Our salvation was costly, but now it is eternal salvation, it is "once for all," and we are the ever-grateful recipients of God's largess in Christ Jesus. This is the very good news of the gospel!"

[s8nfighter]

Jesus is set apart from others in the fact that he was sinless, and had no need to offer a sacrafice for himself and therefore was able to become a sin offering for all.
Guilt kept me from going to church, guilt kept me from facing people, guilt kept me from doing things I wanted to do, guilt kept me separated from life, until I read the three most important words in the bible, "YOU ARE FOGIVEN", followed by the instructions of what to do after that.
A person cannot stop at the "YOU ARE FORGIVEN" and go on from there. Once YOU ARE FORGIVEN there is a whole new life out there to explore, some good and some bad, but you got to get out and get involved in other people's lives, share their sadness and their joy. Just knowing that we have a loving Savior gives me the confidence to share my past with others, it also gives me the confidence to share what I have with those in need, and most of all it gives me the confidence to share my future with others and what a glorious future we have in Christ when He comes again.
I really don't beleve we can share just our past and our future without sharing our present.

Q4. (Hebrews 7:26-28) How is Jesus described in verse 26? How does Jesus differ from human high priests? What about Jesus' role as High Priest gives you special confidence?

Jesus is described in Hebrews 7:26 with 5 characters: 1) holy: without fault relative to deity, devout, pleasing to God, 2) blameless: innocent, free from malice and craft, 3) pure: undefiled in a religious and moral sense, 4) set apart: “phisically” separated by his exaltation to the heavenly world and different from sinful humans, and 5) exalted: raised to greater heights than heavens

Jesus differs from human high priests in three contrasts: 1) the other high priests need to offer sacrifices day after day, Jesus once for all, 2) The other high priests sacrifice for himself and people, Jesus for the people only, and 3) The other high priests are weak, Jesus has been made perfect forever.

Yes, Jesus' role as High Priest should give me special confidence, because I have High Priest that offered himself to solve my sin problem and always ready to make intercession for me forever. According to Hebrews 4: 16, I should approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that I may receive mercy and find grace to help us in my time of need.

Q4. (Hebrews 7:26-28) How is Jesus described in verse 26?

25Wherefore 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. 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

A straight answer would be holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; but I can’t help but notice in the KJV that in 25 He, (Jesus) is able to save them... those who come unto God by him, (Jesus) seeing that he (Jesus) lives forever to make intersession for them. (those who come to God by him Jesus)

Then the next verse by this writer of Hebrews says that for such a high priest became us..... Here is Jesus the High Priest perfectly adapted to our needs, as was fitting--holy, blameless, unstained by sin, separated from sinners, and exalted higher than the heavens. Our need was redemption from sin , reconciled back to God as He had originally created us. But His only begotten Son had to die in our place to make it so.

Jesus, who was uncompromised by sin, with authority extending as high as God's presence in heaven itself. Unlike the other high priests, Jesus doesn't have to offer sacrifices for His own sins every day before He can get around to us and our sins. He's done it, once and for all: offered up Himself as the sacrifice. The law appoints as high priests men who are never able to get the job done right. But this intervening command of God, which came later, appoints the Son, who is absolutely, eternally perfect. “WOW”

How does Jesus differ from human high priests? He is for one thing, uncompromised by sin and not a priest of the law because of His blamelessness. He completely did not yield Himself in any way to sin.

What about Jesus' role as High Priest gives you special confidence? Knowing that He did this once and for all. Not just for a few, but for anyone and everyone who would call upon the name of Jesus Christ.
