CALLED BY GOD AS HIGH PRIEST

The role of a High Priest was a great and difficult one.

Great attention had to be given, from morn to set of sun.

His work was to be a special servant of the LORD,

He must intercede effectively for the people of God.

 

The Aaronic High Priest had not lived up to expectations,

Nobody had been able to fulfil all Divine obligations.

The LORD then called His only begotten Son to this role,

He must be faithful, and obedient, and be perfectly whole!

 

Jesus was anointed to fulfil the Melchizedek High Priesthood,

God gave His approval when He was baptised as He should!

This was not a baptism of repentance for He had no sin at all,

Few understood that He had answered the High Priestly Call!

 

Jesus went on to fulfil His High Priestly role in prayer,

He cried out to His Father, and always found Him there!

This Ministry of Jesus continues to be especially His,

All who pray in His name, would find nothing amiss!
