Past, Present, And Future

The Priesthood of Our Lord Jesus Christ is eternal!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 7:

1  For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

2 to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated “king of righteousness,” and then also king of Salem, meaning “king of peace,”

3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.

If there is a change in the priesthood, there must be a change in the Law.  What does that mean to you and me?  Paul explains the importance of this change in Hebrews chapter 8:

7  For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

8 Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah-

9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the LORD.

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Jesus perfected not only the priesthood, but also the sacrifice for us individually so that FATHER would remember our sins “no more”!

Paul continues in Hebrews chapter 9:

11  But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His Own Blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

When did Jesus present His Blood to FATHER?  2,000 years ago.  When did He present His Body as a sacrifice for our healing?  2,000 years ago… once and for all!

13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,

14 how much more shall The Blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the New Covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the Eternal inheritance.

His Blood was given for our past, present, and future sins!  His Blood sacrifice which occurred 2,000 years ago, includes all sin in the future… yours and mine.  This is why we are no longer classified as sinners.  As we understand this Truth, we will embrace the reality of being Sons and Daughters of GOD, without condemnation of our past.

Paul further wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 3:

10  For you have acquired new creation life which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the One who created you; giving you the full revelation of God.

11 In this new creation life, your nationality makes no difference, nor your ethnicity, education, nor economic status—they matter nothing. For it is Christ that means everything as He lives in every one of us!

12 You are always and dearly Loved by God! So robe yourself with virtues of God, since you have been Divinely chosen to be Holy. Be merciful as you endeavor to understand others, and be compassionate, showing kindness toward all. Be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others.

Don’t let your mind bring up the past and put you into condemnation.  Instead, look to Our High Priest in gratitude for dealing with the past, present, and future!
