"A Priest Who Understands Us"
(Hebrews 4:14-16)

Run to the priest who feels your pain.

1. Since we have a priest who has gone before us we can pledge our allegiance to His cross (4:14).

2. Since we have a priest who feels our struggles we can come with confidence for His help (4:15-16).

The Bible Text

Hebrews 4:14-16

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.
16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
