Jesus: The Better Priest - Jesus Is Greater SeriesEsimerkki

### The Melchizedek Priesthood Pt. 3 Thoughts on the Word Jesus is not like other priests. \-- He received the office with an oath from God – the Levitical priests did not receive this. \-- He does His Priest ministry forever – He is not restricted by death. \-- He is a perfect Priest –  He does not have to deal with His own failures before He can minister for us. \-- He was made a perfect Priest by the things He suffered - not just by holy living. There is much here to talk about. I will focus on two things. He lives forever, so He can always serve us and intercede for us. There is no limit to the time of His intercession for us. There is no limit to the extent that He can intercede for us. That is the power of this priesthood that Jesus carries. Second, never forget that to become perfect (complete), it requires serving others like a servant and suffering. If Jesus needed it - so do we. Do not be afraid to suffer - do not look at it simply as the consequence of living in this world. It is necessary for us so that we can be made complete. Why? I do not know. But if Jesus needed it, so do we! Prayer Jesus, You were Holy and complete. Yet somehow the things You suffered made You the complete Priest that I need. You are able to help me through anything I must deal with. Also, I can point hurting people to You. They will see in You a friend who can understand. For me, I pray that You walk with me though the difficulties I face. They are not as bad as many others are facing, but they are still too tough for me. I trust You because You understand and You intercede for me no matter how far away I wander. Thank you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
