Our High Priest

Malachi 3:1-4

We had lost our way. We were wandering around, groping in the darkness. Then there was a voice, crying out. With every vocalization, a spark. With every spark, a flash of clarity.

John the Baptist was the prophet whose coming was prophesied (Isaiah 40:3, Malachi 3:1). He was here to prepare the way for the coming of the Lord (Matthew 3:1-3).
He knew for whom he was preparing the way (John 1:29-36) and he had looked forward to this day since before he was born (Luke 1:39-42).

Then came the Light! (John 1:1-9)

Today is Christmas day. We are celebrating the coming of the Light. We are celebrating about being moved from death to life, from blindness to site, from ignorance to understanding. The coming of our Advocate, our High Priest.

In Malachi 3:4, God talks about offerings being pleasing to Him again. Christ Jesus is the One who accomplished this. He offered Himself and it pleased God.
(Hebrews 5:1-10)

Thank You, Father, for that voice that cried out in the wilderness. Thank You for the Lamb Who took away the sins of the world. Thank You for our High Priest in Whom You are pleased.
