The Names of God - Forerunner

Forerunner Hebrews 6:20 (KJV) Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

This meaningful name used of Christ it implies that He went in advance of His own to prepare a place for His people, so that when He returns for them they can be with Him according to His wish. This term is most fitting of Christ who goes before His people to prepare a way for them, to open up the gates of heaven by His atoning blood and priestly intercession.

Jesus, thank you for being that Forerunner who goes before us to prepare a way for us. For without you, I will not have a permanent dwelling place in heaven. A place, whereby I can experience complete peace and joy, and where there will be no sickness and suffering.
