ABLE TO SAVE EVERYONE


Hebrews 7:25
Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save everyone who comes to God through him. He lives forever to plead with God on their behalf.
History teaches us that in ancient Israel, six cities were founded as "cities of refuge". Anyone that had taken the life of another without malice or premeditation could take refuge in one of these cities. Once that person was inside those city walls that person could not be touched for vengeance or judgment. Once a year, rabbis would have the roads leading to these cities repaired and cleared, so that men fleeing for their lives would have a clear path to their safe haven. It's in this very same way that we run to Jesus Christ for refuge and salvation. It is Christ that pleads to God the Father on our behalf, clearing our way to His forgiveness. Always remember that even though you're covered in sin, Jesus Christ is your Bridge to the Father where you might find peace, rest and refuge. He is your Safe Haven.
