Our Compassionate 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).
