Hebrews – A Call to Commitment:
                                      “The Legacy of Christ”
                                             Hebrews 9:15-22

     The Legacy of Christ brings up two key questions :

1.       What’s in it for me?  Mt. 19:26-30

      A.       We get a Mediator.  Hebrews 8:6

• Jesus provides a bridge across the chasm to God.
• Thus his sacrifice initiated the promised new covenant: Mt. 14:24
• There was purpose in his death: Hebrews 12:2

 

      B.        Eternal Inheritance: Again look at Mt. 19:29-30

• Notice our author writes, “those who are called.”
• This is both a invitation and a summons to act!
• The wealth of this world will pass away: Mt. 6:19-21
• Why do we put all our eggs in this earthly basket?
• We hang on for dear life.

 

      C.        Forgiveness of Sins – Hebrews 8:12

• Psalm 103:8-12

 

2.         Why did Jesus have to die?

• When I became an adolescent the death of Christ became a stumbling block: 1Corinthians 1:18

          He gives two examples:

 

      A.        A Legal Example (Secular approach)

•  Our Laws are built on a Biblical foundation.
• Secular leaders are God’s Servants: Rom 13:4-5

 

      B.         A Biblical Example – V-18

•  He draws from scripture: Exodus 24:3-8
•  “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” Mk. 14:24
• “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” Mt. 26:28
