HARMLESS

“For such an high priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled” (Hebrews 7:26)

Church authorities sometimes expose, denounce, and shame evil, feeling the wicked must be left broken and punished for the offense. Maybe the sinner was guilty. But in no way would he then see human priesthood as harmless—they stone the transgressor, after all. We need to watch our spirit. The Bible teaches there’s a high priest called Jesus, however, that wouldn’t harm you, no matter what.

Crane Fly 

Have you ever seen a crane fly? If you poke at its corpse, it falls apart easily. But Jesus would never poke at one, see it crumble, and laugh at it, saying, “Your fault; that’s just the way you are!”

My high priest Jesus is harmless. He sees my frailty, but He will not poke at me, watch me fall apart, laugh and tell me it is my fault even if it is; He will work with me until I am stronger and more beautiful!
