Present Work Of Christ

                                        Hebrews 8: 12
                      "For I will be merciful to their unrighteous
                             and their sins, and iniquities will
                                      I remember no more"

          The Book of Hebrews describes the risen and ascended Jesus as presently interceding before God on our behalf as our  "High Priest."  I have heard Christians say that Christ has done what He came to do,  "To be crucified " and that His work is done until each of us stands before God.  Who ever may think that or being taught that; sorry but it's wrong (Hebrews 7:16-17).
          Our saviour is not idle during this present time between His first and second advents.  Rather, He fulfills the role of the Old Testament Priests, who served as mediators between a Holy God and sinful human beings.  Jesus Christ is a higher and much greater Priests Than those of the tribe of Levi, because His priesthood last forever.
         New Testament Christianity is therefore centered not upon what Jesus has done or will do, but what Jesus is doing now.  He is ruling as Lord, and this Lordship of Christ is not limited to individual Christians (My personal Lord) or even to the church.  He is Lord over every realm of creation "in heaven and on earth and under the earth" (Phil. 2:10-11).  Belief in Christ cannot be relegated to the realm of the Spiritual alone.  Jesus is Lord of all.  If your having problems in your life, take them to the Lord in Prayer.  If you are not saved, I pray that you will invite Christ into your heart Today.   Amen!!
