The Academy Ep58 - Christ, the High Priest - Hebrews 5 (Sermon by Russ Earl)

It is not merely a logistical chapter on land distribution but a deeply spiritual message about holiness, justice, and mercy among God's people. This chapter reveals God's care for the Levites, His provision for the innocent, and His unwavering commitment to uphold justice in the land He has given His people. ⸻ Verses 1–8: Provision for the Levites God commands Moses to designate forty-eight cities for the Levites, scattered throughout the inheritance of the other tribes. These cities include pasturelands for their livestock and daily needs. •Spiritual Insight: The Levites, chosen to serve God in the tabernacle, were not given a tribal inheritance of land like the others. Instead, their inheritance was God Himself (Deut. 10:9), and these cities ensured their integration among the people as spiritual leaders and teachers of the law. Their dispersion symbolized God's Word being near to all. •Application: God's ministers are to dwell among the people, not above them. The community should support those who dedicate their lives to spiritual service. Their presence in every region also represented accountability and access to God's wisdom. ⸻ Verses 9–34: The Cities of Refuge Six of the forty-eight cities were to be designated as cities of refuge, where a person who had killed someone unintentionally could flee and find safety from the “avenger of blood” (a family member seeking justice). •Three cities were to be located east of the Jordan, and three west, making them accessible to all. Key Principles of the Cities of Refuge: 1.Mercy and Justice Intertwined The cities of refuge were not to protect murderers, but those who committed manslaughter—unintentional killing. Once the person fled to the city, the community was to hold a trial to determine guilt or innocence. 2.The Role of the High Priest If found innocent, the person had to remain in the city until the death of the current high priest. After that, they were free to return home. •Symbolism: The death of the high priest points prophetically to Jesus Christ, our ultimate High Priest (Hebrews 4:14–16), whose death sets the guilty free. 3.No Ransom for the Guilty God made it clear: no bribes, no shortcuts, and no ransom could substitute justice for a murderer. •The land would be defiled if justice was not served. 4.Blood Defiles the Land God declares that bloodshed pollutes the land, and the only atonement for such blood is the blood of the one who shed it. •This echoes God's deep value for human life, created in His image. ⸻ Spiritual Reflection The Cities of Refuge are a beautiful blend of grace and order, a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ as our refuge. Like the manslayer, all of us have sinned, often unintentionally, and we need a place of safety. Christ receives us, protects us, and takes the punishment we deserved. •Psalm 46:1 – “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” •Hebrews 6:18 – We who have fled for refuge may lay hold of the hope set before us. ⸻ Modern Application 1.Refuge in Christ: Are you carrying guilt? Jesus offers refuge—not to hide sin, but to transform and release you. 2.Justice in Community: God demands justice but also provides mercy. Our legal and social systems should reflect both. 3.Support for Servants: Do we honor and support those who serve in spiritual roles like the Levites? 4.Value of Life: Do we uphold the sanctity of life in our culture? God takes the shedding of blood seriously. ⸻ Conclusion Numbers 35 isn't just about cities—it's about the heart of God. He is both just and merciful, protective and holy. He provides places of safety, demands justice in the land, and shows us through the Levites and the High Priest what it means to live in covenant with Him. As we journey through life, may we remember that Jesus is our refuge, and He calls us to build communities that reflect His heart.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Send us a textThis chapter contains what is really the dominant theme of the entire book of Hebrews. The author reveals the superiority of Jesus over the old covenant Levitical priesthood and draws out the significant implications that follow. There are many deep connections and comparisons in this chapter between Jesus and the old covenant law and priesthood. This chapter also contains the Bible's most exhaustive explanation of the mysterious OT character Melchizedek. There are only two brief references to him in the entire Hebrew Bible (Genesis 14 and Psalm 110) and the author of Hebrews offers a NT commentary on both of them. In some ways, everything the author has said so far in chapters 1-6 has been anticipating his discussion of Jesus as our high priest, which he begins in Chapter 7, and continues on until at least Chapter 10. This is a challenging chapter for Torahism (Hebrew Roots, Torah-keepers) which is that fringe group of Christians who, for some reason, think we're still under the old covenant law. One way they try to get around what this chapter teaches is by saying that Jesus is a high priest in heaven but that doesn't mean that the laws requiring an earthly Levitical priesthood have come to an end. But the author of Hebrews doesn't allow that conclusion. He isn't talking about an addition to the priesthood, he's talking about a change in the priesthood. A change that's so significant it necessitates a change in the law as well.

Send us a textIn part 7, the author begins to look at the high priesthood of the Messiah, Jesus, and show how He is a better high priest than any that came before Him. (In fact, he will use the priesthood of Jesus over the coming chapters to show His superiority over the entire Old Covenant system of rituals and worship that the priests were in charge of.) The reason he's drawing these comparisons is that the author is writing to a primarily Jewish audience who were enduring persecution for their faith in Jesus, both from their non-believing Jewish friends and family and from the Roman government, for whom Christianity was an illegal religion and would be for the next few centuries. So these Jewish believers were being tempted to drift back to the Old Covenant temple rituals and priesthood that they were so used to. Because that would ease the pressure, they were feeling because of their faith in Christ. The author's continuous refrain is, "Hold fast to your faith! Hold fast to your confidence in Christ!" Defending the Biblical Roots of ChristianityOur websiteOur YouTube ChannelProf. Solberg's BlogSupport our Ministry (Thank you!)Chapters00:00 Intro - The Three Offices of Christ06:31 Recap and Hebrews 4:14-5:1010:10 Jesus the Great High Priest (Heb. 4:14-16)21:48 Jesus Compared to Aaron (Heb. 5:1-10)

We're in a study of Hebrews 4–6. Today's passage continues the theme of Jesus' high priesthood. Priests represented people to God but were themselves sinful too. What was needed was a priest who could satisfy the need for sacrifice for sin for all time.

Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;   The sin of not praying. Prayer is communication with God.  Jesus told us to always pray.  You can tell a spiritual contender from a pretender by their prayer.   The Spirit knows spirit.  Luke 21:36 There are people that stand up in church and start TALKING but they are not praying.  There are people that in their minds they are praying but their words are not going further than a few feet in front of their mouths. How do you NOT do that? Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.   First, you focus on the greatness of God rather than the greatness of the problem.  A good prayer starts off with thanksgiving.  Giving thanks for the greatness of God.  Praising Him for being God.  There are many gods in this world.  Make sure you do as Jesus did when he said “Our Father which art in heaven” (King James Version).  Be specific.  This prayer is actually more about who God is than anything else. Great prayers always are.  When you focus, putting your spiritual aim on the Kingdom of God.  And take your eyes off the world, you can see.   Secondly, pray God's words back to Him.  That is why David said “this words have I hid in my heart”  You have to learn the words of the Bible for yourself.  No priest, preacher or clergy person is needed to pray for you.   “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” 1 Timothy 2:5 The concept of confession of sin to a priest is nowhere taught in Scripture. First, the New Testament does not teach that there are to be priests in the New Covenant. Instead, the New Testament teaches that all believers are priests. 1 Peter 2:5-9 describes believers as a “holy priesthood” and a “royal priesthood.” Revelation 1:6 and 5:10 both describe believers as “a kingdom and priests.” In the Old Covenant, the faithful had to approach God through the priests. The priests were mediators between the people and God. The priests offered sacrifices to God on behalf of the people. That is no longer necessary. Because of Jesus' sacrifice, we can now approach God's throne with boldness (Hebrews 4:16). The temple veil tearing in two at Jesus' death was symbolic of the dividing wall between God and humanity being destroyed. We can approach God directly, ourselves, without the use of a human mediator. Why? Because Jesus Christ is our great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-15; 10:21), and the only mediator between us and God (1 Timothy 2:5). The New Testament teaches that there are to be elders (1 Timothy 3), deacons (1 Timothy 3), bishops (Titus 1:6-9), and pastors (Ephesians 4:11) – but not priests. And this is why many people have become disillusioned with God or their faith has been shattered.  They have relied upon infallible man to pray for them or to.   And don't just repeat the same prayer.  Repeating the Lord's prayer is a vain repetition.  The Bible says not to do that.  We have adults still saying “now I lay me down to sleep”.  When are you going to grow up from that? The early believers actually prayed God's promises and God's words right back to Him. We should pray on His promises, too.  Thirdly, pray specifically for your response to the situation.  Consider the model prayer meeting in Acts 4:24.  The powerful council that had arranged for Jesus' crucifixion has now ordered Jesus' disciples to shut up about Jesus or else. Peter and John reported this to the believers a very volatile situation. Here was their response. "When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. 'Sovereign Lord,' they said, 'You made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them. You spoke by the Holy Spirit through Your servant David: 'Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?' Indeed, Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against Your holy servant Jesus. They did what Your power and will had decided beforehand. Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable Your servants to speak Your word with great boldness. Stretch out Your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs...'" Now, here's the result of their prayer: "After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the Word of God boldly."  Here you go: powerful prayer - explosive results. Let's pray like that if you want to get results like that. We can learn some of the secrets of dynamite prayer from how these early believers prayed under life-threatening pressure.  Here's the recap: First, you focus on the greatness of God rather than the greatness of the problem. This prayer is actually more about who God is than anything else. Great prayers always are. Secondly, pray God's words back to Him. The early believers actually prayed God's promises and God's words right back to Him. We should pray on His promises, too. Thirdly, pray specifically for your response to the situation. They prayed for boldness. The situation isn't what will decide this. It will be how you choose to respond to the situation.  Finally, pray for things only God could do - boldness when you feel like running - miracles to show people God's glory. Frankly, our prayers are often so small, so predictable, so unworthy of the great God with whom we're talking. When you pray to a very big God for very big things, beginning with big things to happen in you, prepare for something explosive to happen. That will be the sound of your God blowing the lid off things! You see, I am not a just a preacher of the Gospel.  I didn't learn this in school.  I learned this in life.  I am a recipient of God's blessings.  I'm jaded.  You can't impress me because I know God.  You can say anything you've done that I won't give him credit for.  I know the author and finisher of my faith.   You know it is a sin not to pray.  You can't represent God as an ambassador without a prayer life.  You can't really be a real officer of a church without a prayer life.  Don't fool yourself.  And don't surround yourself with other fools that agree with you.   Practice makes saints.   guitar-for-hire.com blackmanwithagun.com    Love you, Kenn 

Commentary on Exodus 29 Exodus 29 provides detailed instructions on the consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests, emphasizing the sacredness of their role in ministering before God. The chapter is part of the broader section of Exodus that outlines the construction of the Tabernacle and the establishment of the priesthood, representing God's desire to dwell among His people and mediate His covenant through a holy priesthood. Key Themes in Exodus 29 1.Priestly Consecration (Verses 1–9): •God commands Moses to consecrate Aaron and his sons through specific rituals, including washing, clothing, and anointing them with oil. •This act symbolizes purification, authority, and the setting apart of the priests for holy service. The garments, such as the ephod and breastplate, are not merely ornamental but signify their divine appointment and the responsibilities of representing the people before God. 2.Sin Offering and Atonement (Verses 10–14): •A bull is sacrificed as a sin offering to atone for the sins of Aaron and his sons, highlighting the necessity of purity before approaching God's presence. •This ritual underscores humanity's sinfulness and the need for blood atonement, foreshadowing the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ as the perfect High Priest (Hebrews 9:11-14). 3.Burnt Offering (Verses 15–18): •A ram is offered as a burnt offering, symbolizing complete surrender and devotion to God. The aroma is described as pleasing to the Lord, signifying His acceptance of the offering. 4.Ordination Offering (Verses 19–34): •A second ram is sacrificed as part of the ordination process. Its blood is applied to the priests' ears, thumbs, and toes, representing their dedication to listening to God, serving Him, and walking in His ways. •The wave offering, involving portions of the sacrifice, emphasizes the priests' role in mediating worship between God and the people. 5.Continual Burnt Offering (Verses 35–46): •God commands daily offerings—a lamb every morning and evening—as a perpetual reminder of His covenant relationship with Israel. •This daily ritual symbolizes ongoing fellowship with God and serves as a precursor to the unceasing intercession of Christ. Spiritual Lessons from Exodus 29 1.Holiness in Service: •The consecration of the priests demonstrates that those who serve God must approach Him with reverence and purity. This principle applies to all believers, who are called to be a “royal priesthood” (1 Peter 2:9). 2.The Necessity of Atonement: •The sacrifices in this chapter reveal humanity's need for a mediator and point forward to Christ, whose sacrifice provides the ultimate atonement for sin. 3.God's Desire to Dwell Among His People: •The repeated phrase “I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God” (v. 45) encapsulates God's heart for relationship with His people, fulfilled in Jesus (John 1:14) and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. 4.Daily Devotion: •The continual burnt offering teaches the importance of daily worship and commitment to God. It calls believers to offer themselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God (Romans 12:1). Christological Connection Exodus 29 vividly portrays the sacrificial system and priesthood, both of which find their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. He is the sinless High Priest who mediates a new covenant (Hebrews 7:23-28) and the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). Practical Application •As believers, we are called to live consecrated lives, offering our talents, time, and hearts in service to God. •Regular worship and communion with God are vital for maintaining a close relationship with Him, just as the continual offerings sustained Israel's connection with the Lord. Exodus 29 reminds us of God's holiness, the cost of sin, and the profound privilege of being in His presence, themes that resonate throughout the entire biblical narrative.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

December 31, 2024 Daily Devotion: "Boldly Approaching the Throne of Grace" Hebrews 4:16 New Living Translation   16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. In this powerful verse, we are encouraged to approach God boldly, knowing that His throne is a place of grace. The context of Hebrews emphasizes the superiority of Christ as our High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-15). Jesus, who empathizes with our weaknesses, opened the way for us to communicate freely. This passage challenges us to recognize our need for God's mercy and grace. In times of struggle, sin, or doubt, we can confidently come to Him, assured that He desires to help us. The imagery of a throne signifies authority and power, yet here it is paired with "grace," reflecting God's willingness to forgive and aid us. As we approach God's throne, we should do so with humility and reverence, casting our burdens upon Him (1 Peter 5:7). Remember that grace is not earned but freely given.

Hebrews

Hebrews 4:14-5:10 (1) Sympathizes like no other (2) Gentle like no other (3) Cares like no other

Sermon #616 A priest is one who intercedes on behalf of the people to God, to make sacrifices to atone for sin.  The high priest is one who makes atonement for the sins of all the people, in this case, the people of Israel.  But the high priest is himself a sinful person and so he must first make atonement for his own sins before making atonement for the people.  This is not the case for Jesus Christ, who was tempted in every way that we are, yet without sin.  Having no sin to atone for in himself, he was able to be our sacrifice and atone for the sins of the world.  And like the scapegoat described in Leviticus, he was able to take our sin far away from us.

In Hebrews 8:1-6, the author describes Jesus as the High Priest who is seated at the right hand of God in Heaven. The passage explains that Jesus serves in the true tabernacle, and not on Earth like other priests. This is because He has obtained a more excellent ministry as He is also the mediator of a better covenant which is established on better promises. The passage contrasts this with earthly priests who serve in a copy and shadow of heavenly things. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dr-vincent-g-valentyn/support
