October 28 – Hebrews 8:1-2. Who do We Trust?

Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.

We really do have such a high priest.  One who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

In a day and age when it seems we can trust no one, when our pastors and priests are subject to the basest of human desires and the media takes great pleasure in pointing out their sins to the world, it is hard to really trust.

But it is most important that we learn whom to trust. The author of Hebrews knows that placing our trust in ‘mere human beings’ isn’t safe.  These humans live short lives and they have to offer sacrifices to cover their own sins.

The one in whom we should put our trust is Jesus … who serves in the true sanctuary … who sits at the right hand of God.
