Saved from the Gutter-most to the Uttermost

“Wherefore He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:25)

                                                                                         

Jesus, our High Priest, has an unchangeable priesthood.  It is not diminished through use, through time, or through some so-called intellectual arguments against it. Because His priesthood is changeless, all people may come to Him for complete salvation.

There are those living in the gutter of sin. We have seen them.  They are like the discarded cartons, beer cans, old newspapers being washed down the gutter between the sidewalk and the street.  They are the drunks, addicts, prostitutes - the lost of humanity.  But Jesus is able to save from the “gutter-most to the uttermost.”  He came into the world to save sinners.

We also know of sophisticated, well-respected, well-dressed sinners.  They are just floating down a different gutter to the same destination as the sinners in the other gutter.  Jesus can save them from their gutter-most to His uttermost also.
