Our Compassionate & Faithful High Priest
"...Who
can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the
way; for that He Himself also is compassed with infirmity"
-Hebrews 5:2 [KJV]
Thanks be unto God for our compassionate and faithful High Priest, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 2:17). Our blessed Saviour knows our frame; He knows that we are but sinful dust (Psalm 103:13-14). But in spite of all that we are (Psalm 39:5) and all that we have done (Romans 3:23) the Lord is longsuffering and compassionate toward His children (II Peter 3:9).
So
much that He loves the unlovely (Romans
5:8), so
much that Christ justifies the ungodly (Romans
4:5),
so much that the Redeemer died to save sinners (Romans
5:6). We
read that His compassions fail not and are new every morning
(Lamentations
3:22). We
read when He saw a multitude of sinners as sheep that were scattered
having no shepherd, He was moved with compassion (Matthew
9:36). What
a blessed Shepherd the Lord has provided for us (Psalm
23).
