Bevor wir uns an die Versen und Bischofen der Bibel anschauen, denke ich, dass die Bischofen
in der Bibel, die Bischofskarte, die Bischofskarte, die Bischofskarte, die Bischofskarte, die
Bischofskarte, die Bischofskarte, die Bischofskarte, die Bischofskarte, die Bischofskarte
Bischofskarte, die Bischofskarte, die Bischofskarte, die Bischofskarte, die Bischofskarte
Here he is as the creator, all things were made by him, we are told in John chapter 1
who being the very brightness, the very effulgence, the very shining force of his glory
and the express image of his being, of his substance
and upholding all things by the word of his power
when he had by himself made purgation for sins
sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high
we start in this great lesson with the majesty of Christ
as the creator, the very shining force of God's glory
the expression of his being
and we are told he sat down
an evidence of a completed work
never to be repeated
never given their lives for that basic truth in the past
sadly people are just giving up these truths and throwing them away
but Christ we are told here when he had by himself made purgation for sins
sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high
and then verses, I won't read them, but verses 4 to 11 contrast the Lord Jesus
the supremacy of Christ with that of angels
and it ends up with that section
thou art the same, quoting from the psalm 102
thou art the same and thy years shall not fail
so we have in the first chapter
the supremacy of Christ as God
chapter 2 must be well known
I'm not saying anything that is not known
but just to bring these matters I trust to our attention
in a fresh way
chapter 2 brings before us Christ as a man
the chapter 1 is based on psalm 2
thou art my son, this day have I forgotten thee
chapter 2 is based upon psalm 8
verse 6, what is man?
thou might of him
or the son of man that thou visitest in
now as thou mayest him who loatheth the angels
thou crownest him with glory and honour
and didst set him over the works of thy hands
we have the wonderful blessings then that come to us
as a result of Christ becoming a man
go on to verse 14
for as much then as the children are taken of the flesh and blood
he also himself likewise took part of the servant
that through death he might destroy
or allow him that hath the power of death
that is the devil
secondly deliver them
who through fear of death
for all their lifetime
subject to bondage
for verily he took not on him the nature of angels
but he took on him the seed of Abraham
wherefore
in all things that behove him to be made
like unto his brethren
that he might be merciful
and faithful high priest
in things pertaining to God
to make not exactly reconciliation
but to make
propitiation
sins of the people
what a wonderful blessing that is
for in that he himself
has suffered being tempted
he is able to sacrifice
what a help to them that are tempted
then we have a digression
after the first verse of chapter 3
and the thought is taken up again in verse 14 of chapter 4
and it says this
we well know the verses
saying then
that we have a great high priest
that is passed through the heavens
Jesus
son of God
in those five English words
Jesus the son of God
we have encompassed
the truth of the essential manhood of Christ
and his true deity
Jesus the man
born to this earth
the son of God
the one who was ever with God
the eternal son of God
both God and man
in one glorious blessing
saying then we have a great high priest
that is passed through the heavens
Jesus the son of God
let us hold fast
our confession
what a wonderful thought we have here
passed right through the heavens
so we have one of these exhortations
many of the let us's of Hebrews
let us hold fast our confession
for we have not a high priest
who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities
but was in all points tempted like we
heart of a question of sin
that was an impossibility for him
we need to cling to the person of Christ
in all that he is
Satan comes he said and finds nothing in me
so in these powerful negatives we have
brought before us
we have not a high priest who cannot be touched
with the feelings of our infirmities
we have a high priest I suppose
if we could put it in another way
although that's not how the spirit of God puts it
who can be touched with the feelings of our infirmities
let us therefore come boldly
under the throne of grace
we may obtain mercy
and find greater healing in time of need
we had before us the thought of
washing in the wilderness journey
and here we have
on the throne of judgment
of fire and of awesomeness
that we have in the book of Exodus
we have a throne of grace
whilst this is a throne of grace
we ought not to go to the other extreme
that is so prevalent today
where there is irreverence sometimes
and using the name of Father in the light way
without recognizing the greatness
and the reverence that comes here
we are to count that it is a throne of grace
and we are exhorted to obtain mercy
and find greater help in time of need
and then we are told
after another digression
in chapter 7
we are told the contrast
we are given a contrast of this great high priest
we are told something of his superiority
and we are told about
Melchizedek
this mysterious figure
that appears suddenly
in Genesis chapter 14
going back to verse 20
the last verse of the 6th chapter
it talks about
or the last but one verse
it talks about
we have an anchor of the serf
both sure and steadfast
which entered into the bay
where the four remedies for us
entered even Jesus
made a high priest forever
after the order of Melchizedek
and Christ is
not a priest after the order of Aaron
but a priest
after the order of Melchizedek
Melchizedek appears suddenly
on the page of the scripture
we are told something about him in verse 2
he is king of righteousness
and after that also king of Salem
that means king of peace
without father or mother
without descent
having neither beginning of days
nor end of life
but made like a serf god
by the priest forever
and we are told in verses 4 to 9
4 to 10
how Abraham
paid tithes
to Melchizedek
and how the lesser
is less to the better
far superior
then to the Aaronic priesthood
that it argues in verses 11 to 22
how the Aaronic priesthood
was imperfect
no priesthood arisen
from the tribe of Judah
but there is this priesthood in Israel
the Aaronic priesthood
they died
verse 23
they truly were many priests
because they were not allowed to continue
by reason of death
but this man
because he continues ever
hath an unchangeable priesthood
wherefore he is able
also to say
them to the uttermost
that come unto God
by him
seeing every little
to make intercession for us
for such a high priest
as became us
who is holy
harmless
undefiled
and separate from sinners
made higher than the heavens
who needs not daily as those high priests
to offer up sacrifice
first for their own sins
then for the sins of the people
for this he did once
when he offered
up himself
I've gone over these very quickly
but the thought I want to bring before you
those who may wish
or you may wish to do that
in your private reading
the supremacy of Christ
as the high priest
after the order of Melchizedek
in relation to the Aaronic priesthood
the Melchizedek priesthood
by no means
we
that's found in the section 11.22
the Aaronic priesthood was not
and just one other thought is
the perfection of the work of Christ
that's referred to
referred to
in chapters 9 and 10
so in verses 9 and 10
chapter 10 we read
verse 11
every high, every priest
daily ministry offering
often the same sacrifices
which can never take away sin
but
this man
after he had offered one sacrifice
for sins
I believe it should be after sins
forever
sent down
on the right hand of God
the work of Christ stands in
wonderful contrast
to the
offerings that were continually
offered under the old economy
so we have the perfection of his priesthood
we have the perfection of his person
we have the perfection
of his work
and we have later in that chapter
no longer
the way into the holiest
bar to only the high priest
and he only on one occasion
in here
that we have
access into the holiest
of all by the new and living
work
now these things are brought before us
not to engage our intelligence
they are brought before us
and our hearts may be
concentrated on the person of the Christ
we recognize in who he is
and they are brought before us
so that we might
have him before us
and we have in chapter 11 the gallery of faith
those who lived
on the principle of faith
and I just want to read
without any comment
chapter 3 verse 3
of chapter 12
consider him
or perhaps I can read
verse 2 of chapter 12
Jesus
the author and finisher of faith
he is a supreme example
of living life faith
who for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross
despising the shame
when he stepped out of the right hand
of the mad throne of God
for consider him
as endured such contradiction
of sinners against himself
lest ye be wearied
and faint in your minds
he's been brought before us
in this wonderful epistle
in this epistle that deals with our
pathway here
with all the trials of the wilderness
with all the temptations to go back
and to give up
as the Jews were
and so
brought before us
they were wanting to go back
to things that they could touch and feel
and see like the temple and the physical sacrifices
they were told to believe in
one they could not see
and so we
in this generation
whilst the world looks around for
helpless signs
grasping the material
we need to have our
minds set upon him
the glory of his person
the perfection of his work
his great
the great high priest
who is there now pleading for us
and we need to consider him
lest we be weary
and faint in our minds …
