Our Great High Priest (Rev Dr. Stephen N. Gapson)

In “Our Great High Priest,” Rev. Dr. Stephen teaches that Jesus Christ is not only Savior and King, but also our eternal High Priest, continually representing believers before God. Drawing from Hebrews, he explains that unlike earthly priests who were limited and temporary, Jesus is the perfect High Priest—holy, compassionate, unchanging, and forever alive to intercede for us. Because of His finished work, believers now have bold access to God, no longer approaching in fear, guilt, or distance, but with confidence through Christ. He emphasizes that Jesus understands human weakness because He walked as a man and was tempted in all points, yet without sin. As our Great High Priest, He provides mercy, grace, help, and continual advocacy for believers in every season of life. This message calls believers to stop depending on self-effort or condemnation and instead rest in the assurance that Christ is actively representing them before the Father, securing their standing, strengthening their faith, and supplying grace for every need.
