Perfect

He is a Perfect Man

In the time of the Old Testament, there were a lot of priests, for they died and had to be replaced. But Jesus' priesthood is permanent. He’s there from now to eternity to save everyone who comes to God through Him, always on the job to speak up for them.

So now we have a High Priest who perfectly fits our needs: completely holy, uncompromised by sin, with authority extending as high as God's presence in heaven itself. Unlike the other high priests, He doesn't have to offer sacrifices for His own sins every day before He can get around to us and our sins. He had done it, once and for all: offered up Himself as the perfect sacrifice. The law appoints men as high priests who are never able to get the job done right. But this intervening command of God, which came then, appoints the Son, who is absolutely, eternally PERFECT.


He lived a Perfect life

God put the wrong on Jesus who never did anything wrong as He was PERFECT and knew no sin, so that we could be put right with God.


He died a Perfect Death

At the Cross, He cried out loud, “It’s Finished!” and by one sacrifice He has made PERFECT forever those who are being made holy.


We have Perfect Salvation

While He lived on earth, anticipating death, Jesus cried out in pain and wept in sorrow as He offered up Priestly prayers to God. Because He honoured God, God answered Him. Though He was God's Son, He learned trusting-obedience by what He suffered, just as we do. Then, having arrived at the full stature of His maturity and having been announced by God as High Priest in the order of Melchizedek, He became the source of PERFECT and eternal salvation to all who believingly obey Him.


A Perfect Man did it all for imperfect men like us… this is grace!
