Hebrews 7:25 - Christ - Our Faithful and Supreme High Priest.

Hebrews 7:25 (NKJV) Therefore He is also 
able to save to the uttermost those who come to 
God through Him, since He always lives to make 
intercession for them.  

Hebrews 7:25 (NIV) Therefore he is able to 
save completely those who come to God through 
him, because he always lives to intercede for 
them. 

Kept by His Power
   The Bible tells us to keep ourselves in 
the love of God (see Jude 1:21). But we are also 
told in the same passage that God will keep us 
(see verse i). So who is keeping what for whom? 
Is this a contradiction? Not at all. The truth 
is, these verses complement one another, showing 
us both God's part and ours. No, we don't keep 
ourselves saved... but we can keep ourselves safe. 
   God's love is unconditional. And--most 
happily for us--Jesus Christ loves, preserves, and 
intercedes for us before the Father. But we can do 
things that will get us out of sync and out of 
harmony with His love. That's why we're reminded to 
keep ourselves in the love of God, which means 
that we're to keep away from all that is unlike 
Him. We are to keep our distance from any 
influence that would violate God's love and bring 
sorrow to His heart. 
   We are loved by God, and He will protect 
His investment. Think about it: If you own an 
inexpensive pair of sunglasses, you may not be all that 
concerned about where they are. But if you have a 
really nice, expensive pair, then you will tend to 
know their whereabouts. Or, if you went to 
Disneyland with your children, you wouldn't just forget 
about them. Instead, you would keep your eye on 
them because you want to protect what is dear to 
you. 
   In the same way, we are preserved, 
protected, and kept by the power of God. Peter said, 
"And through your faith, God is protecting you by 
his power until you receive this salvation, 
which is ready to be revealed on the last day for 
all to see" (1 Peter 1:5, NLT). 
   Even so, we, too, have a responsibility. 
We need to keep ourselves in a place where He 
can actively show His love to us. We need to 
keep ourselves in the love of God. [Every Day 
with Jesus by Greg Laurie] 

Jesus Will Carry You Home
   During her first-ever home-run trot, 
softball player Sara Tucholsky tore an ACL. She lay 
on the ground, clutching her knee with one hand 
and touching first base with the other. No one 
knew what to do. 
   Mallory Holtman played first base for the 
opposing team. She signaled for the shortstop to help 
her, and the two walked toward the injured 
player. "We're going to pick you up and carry you 
around the bases." 
   By the time they headed home, the 
spectators had risen to their feet, Sara's teammates 
had gathered at home plate, and Sara was smiling 
like a homecoming queen. 
   God offers to do the same for you and me. 
You cannot make it on your own. But Jesus has 
the strength you do not have. He is able and 
willing to help in your time of need. 
   Let him do what he came to do. Let him 
carry you home. [You Can Count On God by Max 
Lucado]
