In a world that promises security through achievement, popularity, or success, how do we find a true and lasting sense of assurance? Many of us have placed our trust in things—our careers, relationships, or even our own abilities—only to find that these often fall short when life throws its hardest challenges our way. The search for peace and safety in this world can feel endless, yet there is a powerful truth we are invited to understand. Jesus, as our High Priest, offers an assurance that goes beyond fleeting confidence. Unlike the temporary sacrifices and rituals of the past, His sacrifice is once and for all, offering a lasting, unshakeable safety for all who trust in Him.
Through the lens of Hebrews, we see that Jesus’s role as High Priest is not just about securing our eternity but also about securing our present. His sacrifice removes the barriers between us and God, and His ongoing intercession guarantees our place in His care today and forever. Even in the midst of doubt, fear, or despair, we are invited to walk boldly in the presence of God, knowing that we are fully seen, loved, and protected. True assurance doesn’t come from our accomplishments or external validation—it comes from the eternal and perfect priesthood of Jesus.
