Let Us Draw Near (Heb 10)

1. Once for All (Hebrews 10:1–25)
2. From Shadow to Reality (Hebrews 10)
3. Drawing Near with Confidence (Hebrews 10)

Episode Description / Show Summary

Hebrews 10 explains how Jesus fulfills the Old Testament sacrificial system. The law was not bad, but it was a shadow. It pointed forward to something greater that could actually deal with sin once and for all.

In this episode, we see Jesus as both the perfect sacrifice and the perfect high priest. His work is finished, and because of that, we have confidence to draw near to God. The passage ends with five clear responses that shape how we live now: drawing near, holding fast to hope, encouraging one another, doing good works, and living in light of Christ’s return.
