"We Have a Great High Priest!"
Hebrews 4:12-16
I. We need someone to perfectly represent us before God, for all of us are guilty sinners (12-13)
II. Jesus is our great High Priest, perfectly qualified by his life of obedience, sacrificial death and glorious resurrection, to represent us:
1) He is in heaven, at the right hand of the Father (14)
2) He is able to sympathize with our weakness, for He was tempted in all ways as we are (15)
III. Our response:
1) We are to hold firmly to our faith (14)
2) We are to draw near to God with confidence, finding mercy and
grace in times of need (16) |
