Open Heart Surgery

December 10, 2017

Please turn in your Bibles to Hebrews 4:12-16 NKJV

Two Essentials for Surgery

1: A Good Knife (Vs 12-13): the Word of God

V 13: naked (gumnos): when all the façade is stripped away

V 13: exposed (tetrachelismenos): like flaying an animal, all is laid bare

App: Trust Him enough to go under his knife

2: The Good Doctor (Vs 14-16): the Great High Priest

-The high priest: made temporary atonement for sin

-The Great High Priest (Jesus) made permanent

atonement

Jesus > any high priest

Rather than intimidating, our Great High Priest

V 14: Humbles Himself

V 15: Has sympathy towards us

V 16: Invites us to Himself

So come:

1: Submit to the Doctor’s healing touch

2: Draw near to Him

What is God’s Spirit speaking into your life today? How must you respond?
