Hebrews 7:19-21
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is
introduced, by which we draw near to God.
And it was not without an oath!
Others became priests without any oath, but he became a priest with an oath when God said to
him:
“The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a
priest forever'.
There is no other priest who lives forever other than the Lord Jesus Christ. He is trustworthy, dependable and honest. We can go to Him at anytime and we will be truly helped. He is the priest who never fails us. He does not require payment for going to Him with our requests. He is a priest made out of an oath that God the Father had made. God the Father does not change His mind like we change our minds all the time. He too is trustworthy, dependable and honest. These many aspects of their divine nature are to be formed in us. They are formed in us when we obey Christ and all that He had commanded us.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.
Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must
give account.Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has
ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is
unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in
every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
Do you know that the oath that is mentioned above was made before Christ our Lord had humbled Himself to take the form of a human being even though He is the Son of God? He was equal to God but He emptied Himself of that and became a lowly man born as a poor person even though this whole Earth rightfully belongs to Him and He is rich in everyway and owns everthing on this Earth. He kept God the Father's oath about Him and was faithful even when He was humiliated by sinful man. Even a cruel death on the cross could not hold Him back from fulfilling that oath that God the Father had made to make Him the eternal High Priest for everyone who believes , loves and obeys Him. He had no sin in Him that even the grave could not hold Him in. He came alive on the third day.
