EyeSalve
A Devotional by Pastor Terry Fischer
Eye Salve is a short devotional that Pastor Terry Fischer writes to challenge and encourage the saints of God. It is meant to be short and sweet and comes from his daily reading and prayer.
“For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.” Hebrews 7:26-27
According to the law of the Levitical priesthood, the priest was to offer a lamb first for his sins and then for the sins of the people. Not so with Jesus; First of all He needed not a sacrifice for His sins because He had no sin. Second, He did not offer a lamb, He offered Himself. Jesus set the example. God is not fooled if you try to offer Him something other than yourself.
