00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,680
A hearty welcome to those who came off the waiting list recently and were added to this

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:04,680
encouragement call.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,600
I hope it's an encouragement to you.

4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,040
We've been working through Hebrews chapter 10 and now we've landed in verse 12.

5
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:16,240
And it says, but this man, referring to Jesus, this man, after offering one sacrifice for

6
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:19,720
sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,920
I think it's really interesting symbolism that he offered one sacrifice forever.

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:31,320
That means all the work to be saved, all the work to pay for sins, all the work to become

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,760
holy with God or in relationship with God has been done.

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,000
And moreover, Jesus sat down at the right hand of God and it is his internal nature

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,880
and the fact that he sits there and makes intercession for us, not yesterday only or

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,440
a week ago only, but today and tomorrow and the next day and the next day, as long as

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,240
we live, he is there making intercession for us.

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,400
He paid for our sins.

15
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,400
It's true.

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,400
We've been forever cleansed.

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,400
It's true.

18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,760
But what makes that so is the fact that Jesus does not stop making intercession for us.

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,760
You still need him.

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:00,760
I still need him.

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,760
We still need him.

22
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,320
Creation still needs him.

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,560
Things only continue because he says so.

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,960
Isn't it great to know that we have a savior that will last?

25
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:13,920
He created and took care of the one ultimate sacrifice and now is there to make intercession

26
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:14,920
for us.

27
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,200
You can continue.

28
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,360
You can overcome.

29
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,360
You can make a difference.

30
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,280
You can stand firm against the tax or temptations.

31
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,720
You can push through and persevere.

32
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:31,280
Jesus will say later in Revelation that he who overcomes, he who overcomes, that's us.

33
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,680
We're overcoming and we will continue.

34
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,680
Don't give up.

35
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,440
There is much fight left in you.

36
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,520
I know this.

37
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:38,520
You can do it.

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,520
God bless you.

39
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,520
Be encouraged today.
