In Hebrews 3 the writer presents Jesus Christ as our High Priest. Having a proper perspective of Jesus in this role is essential for a healthy Christian life, especially when we encounter problems in life.
When I worked in the tech industry, we would often find problems with our products that went beyond running a test or replacing a piece of equipment. In those cases I had to escalate the problem to the design team, the guys that actually wrote the code or designed the hardware. Those guys, because they were involved in the creation of the product, they were able to fix problems that no one else could.
Fully God
When we have problems in this life, problems that the counsel of men cannot solve, we can escalate our issue to the creator – Jesus Christ – who was personally involved in the creation of the world and man: He was the design team for man! He knows how we were built, what makes us tick. He knows how to reach into that deep place in our heart or mind and touch that tender place. He knows exactly what is needed to bring us to a place of healing.
Fully Man
We also see that Jesus, being fully man, has walked in our shoes, so He can understand any problems we might have from our perspective. He can relate. He is sensitive to what we are going through.
Fully God, fully man, our great High Priest, who loves us to much He died for us!
