davidjjj Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Q4. (Hebrews 7:26-28) How is Jesus described in verse 26? holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens How does Jesus differ from human high priests? Heb 7:27 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. NIV Verse 26 has touched on Jesus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God's leading lady Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Jesus is described in Hebrew 7:26 The High Priest, holy, harmless, undefiled, seperate from sinners and made higher then the heavens. Jesus is different from human high priest because he is the only one who can attone for all man sins and the human high priest is unable to forgive our sins, only Jesus can. My confidence in Jesus is knowing that he paid a price for me that I could never pay for. I have the assurance also knowing that I will have eternal life with him. This world is not my home. Jesus says, "These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world, St. John 16:33.

JanMary Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Q4. (Hebrews 7:26-28) How is Jesus described in verse 26? He's our High Priest, perfectly adapted to our needs as was fitting; He's Holy, blameless, unstained by sin, separated from sinners, exalted higher than the Heavens.(eternal God) How does Jesus differ from human high priests? Human high priests were just like us, frail sinful, mortal, needing forgiveness and cleansing. They had to first offer sacrifice for their own sin, before offering sacrifices for others sin, using the blood of animals, and relying on God to pardon. Jesus is Holy, perfect, sinless, eternal...He's God! He does it all....He is the only intermediary, (was both man and God,) He is the only source of forgiveness and cleansing...His own blood was shed... He brought Himself as the sacrifice. He is our pardon! What about Jesus' role as High Priest gives you special confidence? v.26 says He is perfectly adapted to our needs. The verse mentions nothing about the Love of God, but it's implied throughout the text, and His love is what gives me special confidence. That and the fact that He lives to make intercession for us. He met all the requirements, once for all. That means I'm secure. He did it all. I can add nothing to His salvation, His cleansing, nor His keeping power.And His appointment is complete and permanent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia A Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 In Hebrews 7:26, Jesus is described as The high Priest who is holy, harmless undefiled and is separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens. Jesis is the only one who can atone for all man's sin. Only Jesus can do this. Human priest are unable to forgive our sins. What a joy to know for sure that Jesus has paid a price for my sins. This gives me the assurance of know I have eternal life with Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonedcoldsoberbytheblood Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 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 verse 26 as heavenly royalty, unlike the human race. Who of us is blameless, sinless and exhalted above the heavens? In this verse, He is far beyond what the eyes can see and what the mind can know. Jesus differs from human priests because of 1) His permanency with the Father and 2) no human priest is sinless and 3) royalty sits on the right hand of the Father, issuing redemptive grace and mercy on my poor whining soul! Having a permanent High Priest as Jesus allows me to put my faith into something bigger then what I can see with my natural eye. And from a natural realm of things, there are some manipulating, uncaring, sinful priests with ugly mannerisms walking around this city! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Jesus is described as holy, blameless, pure, set apart, and exalted above the heavens. The difference between Jesus as High Priest and human priests is the fact that Jesus atonement for sins are a one time only action and it is permanent. A human priest has to constantly make atonement for the sins of the people and for himself. There is no finality in his actions. The atonement is weak. Jesus' atonement for us is strong and final. In Jesus, my High Priest, I have special confidence in His atonement for my sins through his blood at the cross on Calvary, I have the assurance that my salvation is certain and final as I remain steadfast in faith, hope, and obedience to Him.

What about Jesus' role as High Priest gives you special confidence? The author of Hebrews list five characteristics of Jesus in 7:26. Jesus is holy - He is like God in every aspect. Jesus is blameless - being completely sinless is therefore free from guilt and blame. Jesus is pure - unstained by sin. Jesus is set apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Jesus' role as High Priest gives you special confidence? Jesus is described as Holy, harmless, undefiled, seperate from sinners, and has become higher then the heavens above. Jesus is different because He is pure Holy, not needing to offer up sacrifices, as He did that one sacrifice, Himself, for all. Knowing that Jesus died for me and is alive and is forever present in my life gives me confidence beyond measure.We are so blessed.

DrD Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 HOLY, without sin or fault - BLAMELESS, innocent, free from malice an craftiness - PURE, undefiled - SET APART, free from personal sin - and, EXALTED, raised to heaven. . . Being free from personal sin Jesus had no need to make a sacrifice for Himself - being the sacrifice for all of humanity's sins He only need to make that sacrifice ONCE. . . Not only was He the sacrifice for our sins - He lives forever and is forever in the presence of the Father as a reminder that my sins, past, presence, and future are atoned for me. . .

peaches Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 This passage of scripture brings two words to mind: permanence and progression. Jesus' sacrifice "once for all" signifies something that can't ever be taken away - "it is finished." We may fall short of God's glory at times, but when we look back and remember what Jesus did, it helps us to move forward (the progression). Of course we must confess our sins and be careful not to take the work of the cross for granted. But we can find peace in knowing that when we are troubled, wronged, or are in sin, Jesus "offered himself," giving us a way out - the ONLY way out of any circumstance we find ourselves in. Lord Jesus, thank you for offering yourself and shedding your blood for us. Sometimes we fall short of your glory but thank you that you gave yourself up for the joy that was set before you. Help us to always remember the sacrifice you made and not to take it for granted. In Your precious name, Amen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Jesus' role as High Priest gives you special confidence? Answer:Jesus was defined as PERFECT,SINLESS(2 Corinthians 5:22- For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.)..his pre eminence as greater than heaven itself(Colossians 1 :17- And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.) Jesus differ from Human Priest such that His PriestHood last forever.His priesthood is not through,lineage or Inheritance just like the Levital priest, whose priesthood is according to Mosaic Law,but was ordained and spoken by God with an OATH(verse 28). It gives me Special confidence,for I have a living Mediator(1 Tim 2:5- For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus who constantly plead my case,to the Father,a priest that is so near to the Father(seated on the right hand),and a Priest who tells me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blezed Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 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? 1) Jesus is described in verse 26 as holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and made higher than heavens. 2) Jesus differs from human high priests because He offered up sacrifice offering once and not daily as the human priests had to. Christ sacrifice for sins was for all, human priest had to offer sacrifice for their own sins first and then for the people. Jesus was made perfect for evermore and human priest were weak and could not keep from sinning. 3) Jesus role as High Priest gives me special confidence because His death served as special atonement for my sins. His death brought me eternal life. The comfort of knowing He is sitting on right hand side of the Father intercessing on my behalf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquie7 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 A High Priest who is holy, set apart, blameless, pure, sinless, and exalted above the heavens; differing from human high priest because of these things and because he lives forever. The human high priest not only had to atone for the peoples sins but his own sin every day. Jesus atoned one time and only for the people. The human high priest strength was weak, Jesus’ strength was made perfect forever. In addition to what’s already mentioned above, His role as High Priest gives me confidence that He saved me, is the author and finisher of my faith, and is responsible for my sanctification. He is alive forever, has lived as a human so He knows what living this life is about when He intercedes for me to the Father. He loves me and I can trust Him.

Tahera Kine Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Q4. Jesus is described on verse 26 as One who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. Because He lives forever, he did not offer sacrifices continually for himself and for the people, as the old covenant priests did, but Jesus once for all he offered himself as the One and only perfect sacrifice that pleased God. My confidence in Him is that He lives for ever to interced for me in the presence of the FAther in heaven. There is no weakness in Him, no fault in Him, His blood was perfect. He is my Perfect Advocator in the Throne of God, my King-High Priest eternaly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paula Price Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Jesus is the one pure and perfect high priest to redeem man from sin back to the father. He is the only way to the father.

royk Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 Jesus is my perfect high priest, tempted in everyway, but remained sinless.
