Consider the Apostle and High Priest of Our Profession-Christ Jesus

Text: Hebrews 3:1; Mark 6:52

Our text says they did not consider the miracle of the loaves because their hearts was hardened. In Hebrews 3:8, 10 and 12, a hardened heart is described as an evil heart of unbelief, which always errs from the ways of God. The Holy Spirit in John 16:9 and Hebrews 3:7-8 is convincing and demonstrating to the world to believe and trust in Jesus Christ. In Mark 8:17-21, Jesus said because they did not see(in their minds-meditate on),hear with their spirit man , nor perceive in their hearts, nor remember in their mind, they could therefore not understand the purpose and efficacy of the miracles he performed. This led to unbelief and fear came and their faith was negated. So in Hebrews God is telling the believer to consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus who prevailed on the Cross and overcame everything that can ever separate us from the love of our Abba Father. All power in heaven and earth is given unto Him. He is the Governor among all nations; the King of kings and Lord of lords. He prevailed and took and opened the Book and wailing and weeping stopped. He was manifested to take away our iniquities and to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:5, 8). He is seated at the right hand of God the Father, far above principalities, powers and dominion. He destroyed him that had the power of death (Hebrews 2:140 and made an open shame of principalities and power triumphing over them in it(Colossians 2:15). In Him we are complete. He says “ I will never leave you nor forsake you, so that you may boldly say” the Lord is my helper, I do not fear any man(Hebrews 13:5).
His Name is JESUS CHRIST.”ALLELLUIA”. His Name is higher than other names. His Name is JESUS, His Name is Lord.
Compared to the Father of faith, Abraham considered not his own body or the circumstances prevailing (Romans 4:19) and therefore did not stagger through unbelief, but rather gave glory to God (Romans 4:20)

It is instructive for every believer to meditate constantly on all the miracles done by the person of Jesus Christ, the focus, the author and finisher of our faith. That will strengthen our belief and drive out any doubts. Every day will be for signs and wonders In Jesus Name. God bless you.
