Supremacy of Christ: A Study in Hebrews

DAY 5 OF 13

What does it say?

Christ, the great High Priest, is compared to Aaron, the first high priest.

What does it mean?

God appointed the high priest to make intercession and atonement for Israel. He was able to identify with the people in their struggle against sin because he, too, was human. The priest couldn’t overlook sin in God’s people nor deal with it in a harsh manner. The fact that he had to deal with his own weaknesses first brought compassion and patience. Jesus, however, can identify forever with mankind as a better High Priest because He faced the same temptations – yet was without sin. Rather than make atonement for sin, He became the atonement for all sin for all time. Jesus is uniquely qualified to mediate with God the Father on behalf of all believers.

How should I respond?

The desire to connect and identify with one another has exploded with the use of social media. The more “likes” you gain on your online status, the more you feel understood. Long before Facebook and Twitter, Christ understood everything about you. There is nothing you have or will ever face that He hasn’t already conquered. In what situation do you need to approach the throne of grace? Jesus is waiting compassionately to talk to God on your behalf. What is your status with Him today?

About this Plan

Supremacy of Christ: A Study in Hebrews

Although the authorship of Hebrews is unclear, the message of the book could not be clearer: Jesus Christ is superior to all. Jesus’ name is greater than the angels, He is more faithful than Moses, and only His blood has the power to take away sin. Hebrews reminds us to look to Jesus and faithfully run the race He has called us to.
