Jesus, Our Great High Priest (Hebrews 4:12-16)

Mr. Jeremiah Mooney, January 1, 2017
Part of the Morning Worship at North Greenville Church series, preached at a Sunday Morning service

This book argues for the supremacy of Christ as final revelation. He is our only Redeemer, contrasted with the old practices that could not take away sin. As our great high priest, he can take away sin and guilt. True God of true God, he identifies with us. Far above Moses. God's word pierces, with a warning but also with a comfort in mercy and compassion. He is our once for all sacrifice and our intercessor.

Hebrews 4:12–16 (Listen)

12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
