In the opening of the passage, we are given a clear summons to depend upon Jesus' work as High Priest. Jesus' ability to sympathise with our weakness gives us great cause for confidence in the mercy and grace we will receive from him if we draw near. Jesus' role before God and his humble path to obedience makes him our champion in need and sin.

As we continue our look at Hebrews, we see this week that the cosmic Christ of chapter 1 is also the one who came among us to taste death, defeat the devil, cleanse our sin and become a great high priest for us. Jesus shared our humanity in order to be a faithful high priest for us and to call us his brother. Jesus' humanity does not diminish his glory, but is instead the reason for it.

This week, we begin our look at the book of Hebrews. In the opening passage, we get a summary of the book as a whole. We see the glory of Jesus Christ, in whom is the final word spoken by God, the revelation of God himself in human flesh. He is the one who sustains creation and provides purification for our sins. He is vastly superior to angels! Our great danger is in drifting away rather than paying close enough attention to him. We are summoned to 'pay the most careful attention' (2:1) to the word of the gospel.

At the heart of the passage is reopening the theme of 1 Samuel: finding a leader. Because David, as good as he is, is found wanting at the end. They needed, and we need, someone who both stands with us in our predicament and leads us through it into salvation.
