Our High Priest


Mo. 5/21/12: Hebrews 2:9                  What did Christ taste?
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.
What did Christ taste? Jesus Christ tasted death to give us eternal life.

Tu. 5/22/12: Hebrews 2:10                  What was fitting for Christ?
For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
What was fitting for Christ? Salvation’s was through His sufferings.

We. 5/23/12: Hebrews 2:14 – 15                  What did Christ’s death accomplish?
Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
What did Christ’s death accomplish? Christ destroyed the devil who had the power of death.

Th. 5/24/12: Hebrews 2:17                  What does our High Priest make?
Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
What does our High Priest make? He made propitiation for our sin.

Fr. 5/25/12: Hebrews 2:2 – 4                  Can we neglect and escape penalty?
For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?
Can we neglect and escape penalty? We cannot: God’s word accompanied with signs and passed on by those who heard is confirmed in scripture.
