Jesus, Redeemer, Perfect Peace
Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Such a high priest meets our need – one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
Hebrews 7:23-27
In the midst of crisis, Jesus calms the storm. In the day filled with insurmountable tasks, Jesus is the one thing needed. In the acute pain of grief and loss, Jesus' presence is known.
God of all nations, blessed Redeemer, in you alone we know the essence of perfection. Lord Jesus, you are perfect peace, perfect rest, perfect action, perfect knowledge, perfect truth, perfect faith, perfect hope, and perfect love.
Holy Spirit, I will follow…
