"Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens." Jesus is perfect, which means we do not have to be. Part of the idea behind the law is that the Israelites were supposed to be perfect. Well, their sin got in the way and prevented them from being able to do that. Then Jesus comes along and lives every letter of the Law. He follows all the commandments, including the one about loving God more than anything else. What this means for us is that Jesus us the fulfillment of the Law. Jesus lived the Law perfectly, which means we do not have to. This means we are freed from those rigid commands. This means we are free to live a life in God's grace. God bless you.
Pastor Josh
