The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.-Hebrews 7:23-25
Often, the language of the Bible really strikes me. I was reading in Hebrews this morning and verse 25 is worth spending the day meditating on. It tells us that, for those that draw near to him, Jesus saves to the uttermost. In other words, he saves to the ultimate degree, to the greatest possible extent. He will go as far as he needs to save. Furthermore, because he lives forever, he is always available to do so. The end of verse 25 says that he "lives to make intercession for them." He intercedes, again and again, with the Father on our behalf.
Rest in his effusive, neverending love and intercession.
