                   Hebrews – A Call to Commitment:
                           
“The Greatest High Priest”
                                         
Heb. 4:14-5:10

  •  Now that we are totally exposed; we need a high priest that is not of this earth: Hebrews 4:13
  • The temple would be destroyed. Mt. 24:1-2
  • The Temple exists in our hearts! 1 Cor. 6:19-20

Four Directives that Emerge from the Reality of His Priesthood

1.   Cling to Our Profession of Faith

  •   Publicly professing our faith is required: Rom 10:9
  • The devil tempted him for 40 days:  Luke 4:1-2
  • God provides a way past temptation: 1 Cor. 10:13

 

2.   Pray Confidently and Continually

  •  We need to pray all the time:  1 Thes 5:16-18
  • God’s grace forgives: 1 John 1:9

      The High Priest prayed three prayers: 

      1)    For Himself and his family

      2)    For other priests, 

      3)    For the people

  • We will look in depth at Melchizedek in chapter 7: Heb 7:1-3

 

3.   Submit to the Will of God

  •   He was sinless; He did not take advantage of his divinity: Phil 2:6-8
  • We also will suffer! Mt. 16:24-25
  •  Persecution is inevitable:  2 Tim 3:12

 

 

4.   Obey Him
