Psalms 41:12
41:12 As for me, you uphold me because of my integrity;
you allow me permanent access to your presence.
Isaiah 9:6-7
9:6 For a child has been born to us,
a son has been given to us.
He shoulders responsibility
and is called:
Extraordinary Strategist,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
9:7 His dominion will be vast
and he will bring immeasurable prosperity.
He will rule on David’s throne
and over David’s kingdom,
establishing it and strengthening it
by promoting justice and fairness,
from this time forward and forevermore.
The Lord’s intense devotion to his people will accomplish this.
Luke 1:33
1:33 He
will reign over the house of Jacob
forever, and his kingdom will never end.”
Hebrews 7:21-25
7:21 but Jesus
did so
with a sworn affirmation by the one who said to him, “
The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘
You are a priest forever’”
–
7:22 accordingly Jesus has become the guarantee
of a better covenant.
7:23 And the others
who became priests were numerous, because death prevented them
from continuing in office,
7:24 but he holds his priesthood permanently since he lives forever.
7:25 So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Hebrews 9:24
9:24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation
of the true sanctuary
– but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.
