²⁵ Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by our shortcomings and the challenges we face. Yet, Hebrews 7:25 offers a profound assurance: "Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them." This verse reminds us that Jesus Christ, our eternal High Priest, is perpetually interceding on our behalf, ensuring our complete salvation.

The term "save completely" signifies not only the totality of our salvation but also its eternal nature. Christ's sacrifice wasn't a one-time event with limited efficacy; it is an enduring act that covers all our sins—past, present, and future. His continuous intercession means that there's never a moment when we are without His advocacy. Unlike the priests of the Old Testament, who were mortal and whose intercession was temporary, Jesus' priesthood is everlasting. He "always lives to intercede" for us, highlighting the perpetual nature of His role as our mediator.

Reflecting on this, we can find immense comfort. No matter the depth of our struggles or the weight of our sins, Christ's intercession is sufficient. He bridges the gap between our human frailties and God's holiness, offering us a pathway to draw near to God with confidence.
