Peter reminds us that Christ, the cornerstone, was rejected. We likewise may be rejected. However, Christ is the promised saving stone from Isaiah and the Psalms. Though we may be rejected like Christ, there will be no shame when the ultimate judgement Comes. The stone is a sure blessing of salvation for those who believe, but it is a rock of offence condemning those who reject it.

The Great High Priestly Prayer of the Lord Jesus Christ in John 17

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let…

TITT: The people did not feel worthy enough to hear from God. They were afraid the word of God would kill them.

El final del cap. 4 y dos terceras partes del cap. 5 introducen otra área de superioridad de Jesús: su sacerdocio.

Exodus 24:7-8 has the people ratifying an oath by taking the blood guilt on themselves. This act is a radical departure from previous and future covenants. The enforcement of this covenant is the punishment of the people. Thanks be to God, that when the better Moses, the Better Priest Christ Jesus came down from his mountain in Matthew 8, there was no shedding of blood. Rather, there was peace, healing, and restoration. Praise Jesus for his priestly role in a new and better covenant.

This morning we have come together to worship the King of kings, and Lord of lords by celebrating His birth.

PRESENTATION: Before Abraham was, I AM “Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I AM. They took up stones therefore to cast at him.” What suddenly filled this already hostile crowd with murderous rage that they were ready to stone Our Lord to death on the spot? As far as…

As Christians, we can have total confidence in God’s promises, since Jesus is perfect forever.

Based on the amount of space the writer of Hebrews devotes to it, Jesus' role as our High Priest must be important. But what does it mean and, more importantly, what affect should have on the Christian's daily walk with Him? Find out in this expository sermon from Hebrews 5:1-11. Sermon begins at 15:35.
