Hebrews 5:1-4
I. Call to Worship: Ps. 40:9,10
II. Offering: Ex. 25:1,2
III. Scripture-references:
  • Exodus 28:5 - ‘the sound of the bells will be heard when he enters the Holy Place before the LORD and when he comes out, so that he will not die’
  • John 1:14 – “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
  • Exodus 28:1 - ‘then bring near to yourself Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the sons of Israel, to minister as priests to Me …’
  • Romans 12:1 – ‘Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.’
 
IV. Quotes:
  • John Calvin - ‘it was necessary for Christ to become a real man. For as we are very far from God, we stand in a manner before Him in the person of our priest, which could not be were He not one of us. Hence, that the Son of God has a nature in common with us, does not diminish His dignity, but commends it the more to us for He is fitted to reconcile us to God because He is a man’ ​ 
 
V. Quotes:
  • Mishnah prayer of high priest - ‘O God, I have committed iniquity and transgressed and sinned before Thee, I and my house and the children of Aaron, Thy holy people. O God, forgive, I pray, the iniquities and transgressions and sins which I have committed and transgressed and sinned before Thee, I and my house’ (M Yoma 4:2)

  • Matt. 7:14 - “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
  • 2 Cor. 6:2 – “…Behold, now is “THE ACCEPTABLE TIME,” behold, now is “THE DAY OF SALVATION”
  • Heb. 9:27 – “And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment”
  • Hebrews 12:1-2a - “Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith”

IV. Quotes:
  • Tim Keller - ‘All religions and philosophies say, "This is the way." Only Jesus says, "I AM the Way."​
 
  • Michael Horton  - ‘Paul’s legalist had misunderstood the true nature of the law: to lead us to Christ, not to lead us to self-salvation. The demand for faith does not turn faith into a work. On the contrary, it is a command to cease our labours and enter God’s rest. We are commanded to repent not only of our immoral life that we once approved but of self-trust, which is the greatest sin of all – the chief form of idolatry’
  • John Piper - ‘love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others’
