“20And is was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath, 21but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him: ‘The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever.”’” – Hebrews 7:20-21 (ESV)
“This one, him, You”, All of these are referring to Jesus. Forever is quite a long time and frankly longer than I or anyone else will be around. And these two things are of significance here.
Jesus forever is an amazing statement and one that no one else can claim. You see, Jesus, whereas He may not be here in the flesh as man today, He is always with us, forever. And since He was made a priest, He is far more than any here today.
The Lord has spoken it so therefore it is done, as it was for creation. God has made up His mind and that will not change. We are free to try and change the mind of God and offer up others for priesthood and try to prove some other as priest, but God’s mind is made and nothing, I mean nothing with change His mind.
I am only man and will follow the will of God and bow to Him. Jesus is my only priest, forever and that will not change.
Who do you think of as your priest? Will they be around forever? Are you in a place where you are trying to change the mind of God and bend Him to your will?
