Hebrews – A Call to Commitment: “The Greatest High Priest” Heb. 4:14-5:10
- Now that we are totally exposed; we need a high priest that is not of this earth: Hebrews 4:13
- The temple would be destroyed. Mt. 24:1-2
- The Temple exists in our hearts! 1 Cor. 6:19-20
Four Directives that Emerge from the Reality of His Priesthood:
1. Cling to Our Profession of Faith
- Publicly professing our faith is required: Rom 10:9
- The devil tempted him for 40 days: Luke 4:1-2
- God provides a way past temptation: 1 Cor. 10:13
2. Pray Confidently and Continually
- We need to pray all the time: 1 Thes 5:16-18
- God’s grace forgives: 1 John 1:9
The High Priest prayed three prayers:
1) For Himself and his family
2) For other priests,
3) For the people
- We will look in depth at Melchizedek in chapter 7: Heb 7:1-3
3. Submit to the Will of God
- He was sinless; He did not take advantage of his divinity: Phil 2:6-8
- We also will suffer! Mt. 16:24-25
- Persecution is inevitable: 2 Tim 3:12
4. Obey Him
