Uttermost

"He is able to save to the uttermost," Hebrews 7:25.

Who is able to save? Jesus. Jesus, our high priest. Jesus, our high priest in perpetuity. Jesus, our eternally living intercessor. Jesus, able to save. Jesus, able to save to the uttermost. (The uttermost? What's that? All-complete. Entirely. Forever. Finally. Perfect.) To save whom? To save people. What people? Those who come to God. And how do those come to God? They come to God through him. Through whom? Through Jesus. Who? Jesus, the one who lives for ever. To what purpose does Jesus live for ever? Jesus lives for always in order to intercede for them. To do what? To stand between them and God. High Priest. To mediate their eternal welfare. Eternal? Yep. He goes on and on, forever. Jesus is able.

When we contact a brother or sister today, we remind each other of Jesus' utterly whole intercession in our behalf: He lives, forever! And, together, we give thanks for restoration in the safety of our God.
