Saving the Uttermost

Scripture:

Hebrews 7:25 "Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them".

Observation:

Jesus is our high priest after the order of Melchisedek.  We are told here that Jesus is able to save to the uttermost, those who draw near to Him.  It says we can do this because he ever lives to make intercession for us.  Jesus is always making intercession for us and therefore, even the worst can be saved.

Application:

Not matter who we are praying for, we can rest assured that the "uttermost" can be saved because Jesus is making intercession for them.  When we pray, we must realize that Jesus wants them saved and is interceding with us for their salvation.  We can pray with authority because we know it is God's will for them to be saved and that Jesus Himself is praying for them.

Prayer:

Lord God, I pray with Jesus, for those around me who don't know Christ.  I pray they will draw near to Him and to salvation.  Let everyone I know come to Christ.  Draw people by Your Spirit.  Help me to bring as many people as possible to Christ during my time on this earth.

Yours,
Jeff
