Study 5 From The Book of Hebrews Is: Hebrews
4:14 – 5:10
1. 4:14-16. What truths concerning our Christian High
Priest are we here exhorted to confess, and what consequents privileges open to
our enjoyment are we here exhorted fully to possess?
2. 5:1-10. What qualifications for high priesthood are
set forth in verses 1:4? How are these
possessed by Christ as a higher level and a fuller way than could ever be true
of a Levitical priest? What benefit can He consequently make ours, and on what
condition?
Notes
1. The order of treatment in 5:1-4
is reversed in 5:5-10. The three points
dealt with are (a) function, (b) understanding sympathy, (c) appointment to
office.
2. 5:3. Every Jewish high priest
was ‘bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins’. Contrast 4:15. Jesus was sinless.
3. 5:7-9. These verses give an amazing insight into our
Lord’s true humanity and earthly humility.
