Hebrews 5:5-6, Jesus was chosen of God to be our High Priest

Throughout my athletic experience I always consider it an honor to be chosen for an all-star team or to receive recognition for my efforts. Although I was a good athlete, I never took for granted that I was going to make all-county, all-state, or even the local buddy league all-star team. There was always something special about being recognized by others for the efforts that I had put forth. I always understood that no matter what I accomplished that there was plenty of people better than me and probably more deserving, I was just honored to even be mentioned. When God was selecting who would be the High Priest of all humanity, He didn’t need to have committees look everyone accomplishments or have scouts go out and look for the best around. There was no comparison, there was no competition, and there was only one perfect choice, Jesus Christ. God chose the Jesus and Jesus humbly accept the commission.

The scripture says, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.” To understand this, we must understand that God is a triune being, three separate entities functioning as one cohesive God. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are all equally God and all function in perfect unity. When it was time for God to send the ultimate and only High Priest we would ever need, at that moment one of the three had to be lowered to an earthly form to act this out. God the Son was then ordained to be our High Priest and to forever fulfill this role on our behalf. His eternal priesthood was established forever, and there was no other choice that could have been better. No man could ever live up to the requirements so God Himself came down from Heaven to fulfilled them on our behalf. He took on the flesh of humanity so he could restore us to a loving God and forever act on our behalf in His presence.
