Law and order Hebrew 5:1-10

What comes to mind when I say, Law and Order?

The show – Crime fighting Developed country (Rights) developing country (Survival) Depending on where you are spiritually- these terms might mean something totally different thing to you based on a variety of things. If you have listened to Deacon Tiffany, then you might be thinking about what the Government is doing or not doingToday I want us to look at the part we play when it comes to God’s law and orderDon’t talking about others not doing – Let self-examine

Law- a set rules that regulates the actions of people and there are consequences when you don’t follow them.Order – Directions and instructionThe Bible is full of laws and an orderly way to do them.An order is established to be a guideline, In order to build a home- you need count the cost and start by laying the foundation For you to enjoy the benefit of a marriage bed, you need to be married For you to be considered a child of God, you have to die to self

READ THE SCRIPTURE – HEBREW 5:1-10Verses 1-4 gives the definition of and the criteria (Law) for being a priest and verse 5-10 (Order) show how Christ meets these criteria Law:High priest is taken among manAppointed for men, for your benefit – our benefits No one chooses himself – He is chosen by God just like Aaron was Jesus Himself was chosen as well- By GodHebrews 5:5 So too Christ (the Messiah) did not exalt Himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed and exalted by Him Who said to Him, You are My Son; today I have begotten You;The office of the Priest is nothing to campaign for- It is a chosen position by God There is no microwave ranking upThere are laws and order that govern what we are all called to doThere are dire consequences for trying to do it outside Gods law and order This is what happens to people that played Priest:Korah thought he could do it better than Moses – Swallowed by the ground (Numbers 16:20-35)Saul was impatient – Rejected by God (I Samuel 13:8-14)Uzziah appointed himself as a priest because he was strong– Leprosy (2 Chronicles 26:16)OrderThe Priest offer both Gifts and sacrifices for our sins He is compassion on those who are going astray (gentleness and forbearance towards the ignorant and erring – but he is also subject to weaknessHe offers sacrifices for his people- himself included as wellCarrying them in their thoughts  - On the breast plate of the high priest, there is 12 stones of Israelites and the shoulder straps were engraved with the names of the tribes – They were all in the heart and shoulder of the priest Make it easier for your pastors – Hebrew 13:17 - Obey your spiritual leaders and submit to them [continually recognizing their authority over you], for they are constantly keeping watch over your souls and guarding your spiritual welfare, as men who will have to render an account [of their trust]. [Do your part to] let them do this with gladness and not with sighing and groaning, for that would not be profitable to you [either].Obedience This is the glue what brings everything togetherHebrew 5:8 - Although He was a Son, He learned [active, special] obedience through what He sufferedThe joy of suffering Though He was God…… (If Jesus can be obedient – there is no excuse of us not being to Him)He was human – He cried out Father remove this from me Having been perfected – He won the right to be the author of internal salvation for all who obey Hebrew 5:9 - And, [His completed experience] making Him perfectly [equipped], He became the Author and Source of eternal salvation to all those who give heed and obey HimHe listened to authority set before him- so He could inherit that title – High Priest Obedience at the garden  Matthew 26:38-39 Then He said to them, My soul is very sad and deeply grieved,
