A hearty welcome to those who came off the waiting list recently and were added to this
encouragement call.
I hope it's an encouragement to you.
We've been working through Hebrews chapter 10 and now we've landed in verse 12.
And it says, but this man, referring to Jesus, this man, after offering one sacrifice for
sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.
I think it's really interesting symbolism that he offered one sacrifice forever.
That means all the work to be saved, all the work to pay for sins, all the work to become
holy with God or in relationship with God has been done.
And moreover, Jesus sat down at the right hand of God and it is his internal nature
and the fact that he sits there and makes intercession for us, not yesterday only or
a week ago only, but today and tomorrow and the next day and the next day, as long as
we live, he is there making intercession for us.
He paid for our sins.
It's true.
We've been forever cleansed.
It's true.
But what makes that so is the fact that Jesus does not stop making intercession for us.
You still need him.
I still need him.
We still need him.
Creation still needs him.
Things only continue because he says so.
Isn't it great to know that we have a savior that will last?
He created and took care of the one ultimate sacrifice and now is there to make intercession
for us.
You can continue.
You can overcome.
You can make a difference.
You can stand firm against the tax or temptations.
You can push through and persevere.
Jesus will say later in Revelation that he who overcomes, he who overcomes, that's us.
We're overcoming and we will continue.
Don't give up.
There is much fight left in you.
I know this.
You can do it.
God bless you.
Be encouraged today.
