He Is Able
Our hope and confidence is not ourselves, but Jesus, our great high priest.
“Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25).
We would have every reason to despair if our eternal destiny depended on us. But thank God our hope and confidence is not ourselves, but Jesus, our great high priest.
Consider his power. The text says that he is able. Jesus has the power and ability to deliver on his promises. We live in a world of over-promising and under-delivering. But Jesus never makes a promise that he cannot deliver on. He is able to do whatever he purposes to do. And what exactly does he purpose to do?
He is able to save to the uttermost. Simply put, Jesus doesn’t do half jobs. He doesn’t get us started in the Christian life, only to leave the rest up to us. He finishes everything he begins. He’s fully invested in us from start to finish.
All who draw near to God through faith in Jesus can rest in complete confidence that our future is incredibly bright because Jesus is alive right now. We are not left to our own self-motivated grit or efforts at keeping hope alive— our hope is alive! Our hope defeated death. Our hope is presently seated at the Father’s right hand, and he always lives to make intercession for us. Our confidence is Jesus— his indestructible life, love, and power!
