Hebrews 8:1-2

He’s there to save us from our sins forever.

• Hebrews 2:17

• Leviticus 16:15, 32-34 – The high priest made atonement for all Israel once a year.

• Hebrews 9:23-28; 5:6, 9-10 – Jesus made atonement for all mankind, once for all time.

  • Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18-20; Psalms 110:4). Jesus is a priest perpetually. Melchizedek was superior to Abraham (since Abraham paid him tithes), and thus his priesthood was superior to the Levitical priesthood. Thus, Jesus’ priesthood is also superior to the Levitical priesthood.

• The perfect high priest is in place and will always be there for us!

• Hebrews 7:3-4, 7, 17, 23-25; 6:19-20

He encourages us to confess Him and never turn back.

• Exodus 28 – The high priest garments.

• Exodus 29:9-10, 12, 21, 29

• Hebrews 5:1-3; 4:14-16 – The high priest was one of the people, so would sympathize with their weaknesses. Jesus lived and was tempted as we are, so we have an even greater advantage with Him as our high priest.

• Hebrews 3:1; 10:19-23 – We can have confidence through Jesus.

• Matthew 10:32-33

He has proved His love. Now it’s our turn.

• Hebrews 4:15

• Isaiah 59:2, 9, 15-16, 20
