Every Prayer Which Ascends From Us To GOD, Passes Through HIS Hands.

The work of our great high priest at present

(James Smith, "Gleams of Grace" 1860)

"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!"
Hebrews 7:25-26

As believers, we should look upon 

our great high priest, as having . . .

put away our sins from before GOD

reconciled our persons to GOD,

justified us fully and freely at

the tribunal of GOD,

procured for us all spiritual

and eternal blessings.

The work of our great high 

priest at present, is to render 

our persons, prayers, and services 

acceptable to GOD. Every prayer 

which ascends from us to GOD, 

passes through HIS hands--

who cleanses, arranges, and 

perfumes it, and then presents it 

to HIS FATHER. Thus HE renders 

our poor imperfect prayers, 

praises, and services--

acceptable and pleasant 

to our GOD and FATHER.
