North Platte Berean Church
Confidently Hope
Christianity has a long history of being misunderstood, even by Christians! It's all too easy to make it about Jesus PLUS something (good works, moral living, religious activities, emotional experience…). But the book of Hebrews claims that when we add anything to Jesus, we're actually subtracting. It holds up Jesus Christ – fully God, fully human – as the promised Deliverer. He is the One who, alone, saves us from our sinfulness and restores our relationships with God, others, and creation. Its message, the message of Christianity, is really quite simple: Jesus Christ is enough!

Schematic of the Tabernacle/Temple
Here is a similar diagram of the Tabernacle/Temple to what John showed on Sunday. This image will have increasing significance as the writer continues his discussion about Jesus as our High Priest.

Next Week's Sermon
We'll finally arrive at the Melchizedek passage and find out why the writer of Hebrews is bringing him up! We'll understand how his priesthood resembled Christ's priesthood and how this can make Jesus's priesthood even more precious and meaningful to us. As we treasure him more, our lives will be transformed to look more and more like his!
