Have You Considered?

Have you considered, do you think carefully about or are you giving attention to Jesus in regards to His unique role in your salvation? 

Holy brethren - He makes us holy brothers and sisters by setting us apart unto Him. To be holy means that we have turned away from unclean things of the world and from the religions of the world and have turned to Christ

Partakers of the heavenly Calling - We have been Called by Christ to live with God in heaven. We are not to live for this earth; we are to live for heaven. Therefore, our attention is to be fixed upon heaven, even more so on Christ who is our Savior and who has made it possible for us to live in heaven

Jesus is the Apostle of our confession - Jesus is the One Sent by God with full authority and power. We confess that He is the One whom God sent from heaven to earth for our salvation

Jesus is the High Priest of our confession - Jesse is the great high priest who stands between God and man. He bares the name of God before man, and He carries the names of men before God. This means two things: (1) Christ must know man and He must know God (2) Christ must also be able to represent God before man and man before God

“Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,” (Hebrews‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Something to consider today...
