TITLE: Staying Afloat
Text: Hebrews 4:14-16
I. WE HAVE A SUPERIOR HIGH PRIEST
Three short statements were standards of the Reformation: No sacrifice but Calvary. No Priest but Christ. No Confessional but the throne of God.
To fully understand this passage there are two items of importance:
1) The situation of the people
2) The background form which they see things.
· Day of Atonement
· Holy Place
· Holy of Holies
· Ark of the Covenant and Mercy Seat
All this was a picture of Jesus, the (High Priest) Turn to Hebrews 10:19-22.
1. Offered (continual sacrifices) for the sins of the people.
2. (Represented) the people because he (identified) with them.
3. He was the (mediator) for the people.
Prayer is not about a (technique), about saying the right words. Prayer is about a (relationship with God), established through the Lord Jesus.
II. WE HAVE A SYMPATHETIC HIGH PRIEST
When Jesus took on human flesh He took on (human weakness). He did it with one qualifier: he did it (without sin).
