When was the last time you studied (or even thought about) the fact that Jesus is our High Priest. We had a very interesting study this morning in our study of Hebrews about it and it got me to thinking. In Baptist theology, we don't "do" priests. So trying to apply a priesthood to ourselves is all theory. We acknowledge the facts that it exists - of course the Bible teaches it - but as far as it having anything to do with us personally - I wonder how many actually know how it operates.
We hear about Catholics who go to confession to a priest, receive "penances" and then go on their way. We sort of don't think that's Biblical. So do we just ignore the priesthood or do we know the truth about what we are supposed to do?
A straw poll: do you regularly appear before your High Priest? If so, what do you do there?
