All in Hebrews
Hebrews 9 describes the earthly tabernacle as a copy of the heavenly temple in which Jesus serves as our High Priest. The earthly is but a shadow of the heavenly as animal sacrifices were merely a shadow pointing to Jesus as the perfect sacrifice who is also our Great High Priest! Subsequently, God’s commands for worship are not arbitrary. They have profound, eternal significance.
Hebrews 6 teaches us that we are not to live in a constant cycle of “restarting” our Christian Faith. We are to move past the initial stage of repentance into spiritual maturity. and assurance. In the process, Chapter 6 deals with the subject of whether or not a person can lose their salvation. Pastor Daniel Samms helps bring understanding to this often debated passage.
Hebrews 5 explains the nature of Christ ‘s Priesthood. He is not a Levite after the order of Aaron. Rather, His priesthood both predates and postdates the Law of Moses because His priesthood is eternal. Hebrews 5 describes Jesus as a priest after the order of Melchizedek, the priest/king to whom Abram paid tithe and from whom he received blessing. Jesus is a greater High Priest.
Hebrews 4 teaches us how Christ is the greatest high priest. The Holy of Holies was once limited to a short visit from the high priest. Now, all who are in Christ, our Great High Priest, can body approach God directly! Moreover, God has given us HIs Word which reveals hearts and cuts deep to the division of soul and spirit.
Hebrews is all about the supremacy of Christ. Chapter 2 explains how the message of the gospel is a greater message than that which was delivered to the Old Testament believers. Moreover, Christ is greater than the first man (Adam) who sinned as Christ is the perfect man who exercises perfect dominion over creation!
