Hebrews 7 and Psalm 106
Psalm 106:8 Yet he saved them for his name's sake
Hebrews 7:25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
The story is told of a man in Europe who owned a Rolls Royce. The rear axle broke one day and the man called the Rolls Royce company in England. He was instructed to ship the car to England, where it was repaired before being returned to him. When the man did not receive a bill for some time, he called to inquire about the situation. But he received a great surprise when the Rolls Royce representative told him, "We have no record of a Rolls Royce with this problem."
If a car manufacturer will go to this length to protect its good name and reputation, how much more will God do to protect His name by securing those whom He has saved?
We have seen in Hebrews that Jesus is an amazing intercessor for us. In car terms our lives don't only have a broken rear axle; our sins have "totaled" the car. Because of sin our lives are complete junkers. But Jesus our great high priest has not given up on us. He comes along and with his amazing mechanical skills he totally transforms our car lives. He takes what is literally junk and completely transforms it. And most importantly his he now engraves his name as our vin number on our cars. We are his, totally and completely.
So if you are discouraged today. Remember that you are saved completely because of super mechanic Jesus.
Psalm 106 goes on to say that if we really believe this promise we should sing his praise. So take a minute and sing your praises to the Lord.
