And yet the great Son himself is the one who stoops down into our humiliation, so that we can be raised up into his household.
We need our great king, to make a judicial pronouncement – that our sins have been dealt with at the cross, and that our souls have been dressed with his righteousness.
Our salvation – and our relationship with God – it isn’t based on the greatness of what we’ve done, or what we do. But it’s all a gift, that comes through the greatness of our high priest.
Jesus is not just one prophet among many. Jesus is The Great Prophet who can reveal God perfectly to us, because he is God and near to God.
