Why Jesus? Because He is Praying for You

Introduction:

Psalm 110:4 - The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind, "“"You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

Why Are You Able to Draw Near to God Through Jesus? (Hebrews 7:11-28):

  1. Because you have the right Priest . (Heb 7:11-19)
  2. Because you have God's Oath . (Heb 7:20-22)
  3. Because you have Jesus making Intercession for you. (Heb 7:23-25)
  4. Because all the Work is done. (Heb 7:26-28)
