High priest

After Hebrews 4:14-16

We enter the temple,

sometimes stumbling,

sometimes crawling,

sometimes curiously

walking. We find

a high priest,

the high priest,

one who’s been tempted,

as we are, one who has

resisted temptation,

as we have (too often)

not.

But he knows.

He knows our temptation;

he knows our fall.

We draw near,

sometimes stumbling,

sometimes crawling,

sometimes curiously walking.
