Christ our Great High Priest ! 2
Christ our Great High Priest ! 2
The fact that God's chosen were accepted in the beloved before the foundation of the world Eph 1:4-6
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
That indicates that they were accepted in their Great High Priest, typified by this Ex 28:38
38 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the Lord.
So the Merits of Christ's High Priest accomplishments for God's Elect was in force and effect at the very foundation and beginning of the world, and all of the Church of God, or God's Israel was accepted in the Son of God ! Also Christ as High Priest is but only one aspect of Him being our Mediator, the others being that of King, remember Melchizadek His type was also a King Heb 7:1-3 also He was an Prophet !
And that Christ was also the Great High Priest for the Church, the Gentiles is seen here as Paul writes to the Church Eph 5:2
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
That word offering is the same word used of Christ's death in these places Heb 10:10,14,18 !
The word sacrifice thysia is the same word used of Christ here Heb 9:26; 10:12
So He is the Great High Priest who offers Himself an Sacrifce for who in the Eph 5 context ? Eph 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself [as a Sacrifice Vs 2] for it;
