    Jesus became the ‘Great High Priest’ who took on Himself the sins of the world by shedding His blood on the cross for each one of us. Since Jesus is the ‘Great High Priest’, He is now at the right hand of the Father in heaven, interceding on our behalf.

For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God…Jesus, the Son of God.” (GNB) We live in a world where it is so easy for us to be ensnared and in bondage to various sinful habits.
