Wherefore in all things it behoved him to he made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high-priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Hebrews 11:17. Therefore because he continues ever, he has an unchangeable priesthood, wherefore he is also able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:24-25.

If we have really experienced in our hearts that Christ is our brother, it will be such an exceeding great thing to us, that we shall be constrained rather to be silent upon, than to talk much of it. Such as only cry out, and make the greatest noise, have very often the least experience of it.

Luther, on these words, says, Christ is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world, and so for mine too. His continual intercession abolishes all charges against me, old and new, he being able to save to the uttermost, and living for ever. This is by him very emphatically repeated again. As long, therefore, as this lasteth, his salvation lasteth also, and will be ever ready and able to take away my sins, and accomplish my eternal happiness, in spite of all obstacles and hindrances.

Jesus, the king of glory reigns,
On Zion’s heavenly hill:
Looks like a lamb that has been slain,
And wears his priesthood still.

He ever lives to intercede,
Before his Father’s face:
Give him, my soul, thy cause to plead.
Nor doubt the Father’s grace.
