Step past the veil and into the core claim of Hebrews: Jesus is not only our mediator but our high priest who became the final, perfect sacrifice. We start with the Old Testament portrait—priests from among the people, a high priest entering the Holy of Holies once a year—and show why that pattern points to a deeper need. To truly represent us, a priest must share our humanity. To truly reconcile us, the priest must offer a sinless, sufficient sacrifice. Only Jesus is both.We walk through Hebrews chapters 1–2 to see how the text holds together Jesus' full divinity and full humanity, then unpack propitiation with clear language: God's justice satisfied, the barrier removed, the way back opened. No more yearly cycles of guilt. No more blood of bulls and goats. “It is finished” means done once for all. From there, Hebrews 3 turns the diamond: Moses served in the house; Jesus built the house. That shift matters, especially for anyone tempted to settle for tradition, tribe, or moral effort. The builder outranks the servant because the builder authors the story.Along the way we address a common struggle: confusing spiritual feelings with spiritual facts. Hebrews calls believers “holy brethren” and “partakers of a heavenly calling” because God sets us apart in Christ. That assurance empowers perseverance. When the author says “we are his house if we hold fast,” the “if” functions as a marker of genuine confidence—those who belong continue, not by grit alone, but because Christ is faithful. Consider Jesus becomes our rallying cry: engage your mind, weigh the claims, and become firmly persuaded.If you're hungry for a faith that invites thinking, offers real assurance, and centers on a Savior who is both advocate and offering, this conversation will steady your steps.

Sermon by Ant Frederick on October 27, 2024.This week, we look at one of the most foundational concepts in the Old Testament: the temple, the priests, and the sacrifice. Even though, we don't use the sacrificial system in the same way as the people of God did in the Old Testament, learning about this system helps us to know, appreciate, and cherish our Savior.This series is part of our Year of Biblical Literacy initiative.

Episode Summary: What if you waited your entire life, followed rituals painstakingly, prayed for atonement, but never really knew if you had been forgiven by God? This is the reality for many in the Jewish community during Yom Kippur. In this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast, Matt and Ron Davis explore the ancient Day of Atonement, diving deep into its significance for both Jews and Christians. They unpack the biblical roots of Yom Kippur, discuss its modern observance, and ask the critical question: if Jesus is the ultimate High Priest and the final atonement, what does that mean for both communities today? This episode grapples with the tension between tradition and fulfillment, helping listeners see how the old covenant points directly to the Messiah. 5 Key Takeaways: Yom Kippur in Jewish Tradition: Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day in Judaism, where Jewish people seek to make things right with God, often unsure of whether their efforts are enough. Jesus as the Fulfillment of Atonement: The temple sacrifices and the role of the High Priest in Jewish history were shadows of what Jesus would ultimately fulfill as the final atonement for sin. The Significance of the Scarlet Thread: For 40 years before the destruction of the Second Temple, the scarlet thread on the Yom Kippur scapegoat stopped turning white, symbolizing that the sacrifices were no longer accepted - coinciding with the death and resurrection of Jesus. Jewish Rituals and the Messiah: Jewish traditions and practices, like the two goats on Yom Kippur, symbolically point to Jesus, who became both the sacrifice and the scapegoat for humanity's sins. The Growing Openness in Israel: Amid military tension, young Israeli soldiers are increasingly looking toward God, with many becoming open to the idea of Jesus as the Messiah. 3 Pull Quotes: "The scarlet thread stopped turning white 40 years before the destruction of the temple. What event could have caused this? The death and resurrection of Jesus." "Yom Kippur points us toward the ultimate atonement that's already been made - Jesus, the High Priest, who offered Himself once for all." "Our defense system is good, but it's not as great as what we've seen here. This has to be the hand of God."

The author of Hebrews reminds readers that Jesus is superior to every trustworthy, praiseworthy, truth-speaking voice they may be tempted to exalt in their era of persecution. This is a good word for the Hebrews audience, as well as the modern American Church and even Citizens church. As culture (nationally and locally) shifts and changes, enduring together in confident pursuit of Jesus' glory assures we can be His house that hosts His presence. What could be superior to that?
We jumped into our Summer Hebrews study by covering some Hebrews 101. Who is the author writing to and what's their context?! Then we covered the first two chapters and saw Jesus magnified as Prophet, Priest, and King… better than angels… and worthy of our closest (or undivided) attention!
Kyle Kauffman | May 19 2024 What does a life well-lived look like? That's a question we all ask in some way. We know we only have one life to live and so we don't want to waste our lives. In the midst of all the challenges, pressures, and temptations it can become easy to coast, drift, or just fail to consider the direction of our lives. Hebrews 13 puts before our eyes a vision of what a life well-lived looks like. The author of Hebrews has spent 12 chapters laying out what make Jesus better than anything or anyone else in this life. Based on all of this he concludes in Hebrews 13 by telling us a life well-lived is a life that seeks to please God by following Jesus. The author shows us in practical detail what this life looks like while reminding us that this life is only possible through God's grace.
Send us a Text Message.Not only is Jesus the Son of God and greater than the angels, but He is also greater than Moses, who gave Israel the Law. For if those who rejected the words of Moses were killed in the wilderness, how much more severe will the discipline be for those who reject the words of Jesus? Those who rebelled against Moses never entered into the rest that was promised in the land. However, Joshua promised a greater rest still for those who persevere to the end.Support the Show.Stay engaged with new and up-to-date content, including newsletters, articles, podcasts, etc. Download the Teach Me the Bible App from any app store or Apple TV/Roku device.
