Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus – Romans 6:1-11
Text: Romans 6:1-11
Can we trust in riches?
Jesus said it is hard for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God (Mark 10:24). After all, the rich young ruler would not give them up in order to follow after Christ (Matthew 19:16-22).
Paul said not to “trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17).” Riches are uncertain, for they will pass away (1 John 2:15-17).
Can we trust in ourselves?
Sometimes we think we can, and other times we know we cannot. We are not reliable. We have all sinned (Romans 3:23) and are not perfect. Paul said we should not “trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead” (2 Corinthians 1:9-10).
One is tempted when enticed by his desires, and when the desire is conceived it causes sin. When sin is full-grown, death is brought about (James 1:14-15). This all started when Adam & Eve gave in to temptation and sinned when eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2-3).
As a result, “…in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:22).
If we cannot trust in things or in people, in what or in whom can we trust?
We can trust in Christ!
- We heard the word of truth, the gospel of salvation, and were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise who is our guarantee of the inheritance (Ephesians 1:12-14)!
- We are not sufficient of ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God (2 Corinthians 3:4-6). The Old Testament shows how God provided for the children of Israel, and He will do the same for us (James 1:17; Ephesians 1:3).
- He is the Savior of all men, but especially of those who believe (1 Timothy 4:10). Even when we were in sin, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). Those who are obedient to the gospel will be saved (Romans 6:1-11).
How do we show our trust in God?
Peter says the women who trusted in God adorned themselves with the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:1-6).
Paul told Timothy a true widow shows her trust in God by “continuing in supplications and prayers night and day” (1 Timothy 5:5). Christians are to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Ephesians 6:18).

Text: Hebrews 8:1-6
Introduction
1. With the beginning of chapter eight, we come to the close of the first major section Hebrews
a. In which the key thought is the superiority of Christ
b. In which Jesus is shown to be superior to:
1) To the prophets – Hebrews 1:1-3
2) To angels – Hebrews 1:4-2:18
3) To Moses – Hebrews 3:1-5
4) To Aaron and his Levitical priesthood – Hebrews 5:1-10; 7:1-28
2. The next major section really begins in earnest with Hebrews 8:7
3. In Hebrews 8:1-6, we find a transition
a. In which the main point of the first section is summarized
b. In which the main points of the next section are introduced
c. Indeed, these six verses truly summarize what the author seeks to establish in the first ten chapters of this epistle!
4. It can all be summarized in these words: “We have such a High Priest…”
a. In Jesus, we have a High Priest
b. Not just any High Priest, but “such” a High Priest; a glorious High Priest!
Body
I. SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD (Hebrews 8:1)
A. MANY PASSAGES REFER TO JESUS AT GOD’S RIGHT HAND
1. David prophesied that the Messiah would sit at God’s right hand – Psalm 110:1
2. Jesus said that He would sit at the right hand of God – Mark 14:62
3. When He ascended to heaven, He sat down at God’s right hand – Mark 16:19
4. At God’s right hand, He poured forth the Holy Spirit – Acts 2:33
5. Peter preached Jesus as being exalted to be at God’s right hand as our Prince and Savior – Acts 5:30-31
6. Paul taught that Jesus is at God’s right hand, interceding for us – Romans 8:34
II. A MINISTER OF THE TRUE TABERNACLE (Hebrews 8:2-5)
A. ERECTED BY GOD, NOT MAN
1. We are now introduced to a contrast between two “tabernacles”
a. There had been the earthly sanctuary or tabernacle
1) As ordained under the first covenant (i.e., the Law) – Hebrews 9:1ff
2) It was built by man
b. But now we read of one “which the Lord erected”; a heavenly tabernacle
2. The heavenly tabernacle is none other than heaven itself! – Hebrews 9:11-12; 23-24
B. IN WHICH HE OFFERS SERVICE
1. As a High Priest, it is necessary for Him to have something to offer – Hebrews 8:3
a. Every high priest is appointed for this purpose – Hebrews 5:1
b. What Jesus has to offer is not mention here, but will be later – Hebrews 9:12
2. This service He renders in heaven, not on the earth – Hebrews 8:4
a. If He were on earth, He couldn’t be a priest!
b. For the Law required priests from the tribe of Levi, and Jesus was from Judah
3. As for priests on the earth
a. They serve only the copy and shadow of the heavenly things – Hebrews 8:5
b. For Moses had been told by God to build the earthly tabernacle according to pattern shown to him on the mountain – Exodus 25:40
III. THE MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT (Hebrews 8:6)
A. HE HAS OBTAINED A MORE EXCELLENT MINISTRY
1. In contrast with the ministry of the Levitical priests
2. Their ministry was simply a shadow and copy of His ministry – Colossians 2:16-17
B. AS MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT
1. The word “mediator”
a. The Greek is “mesites” {mes-ee’-tace}
b. It means “one who intervenes between two, either in order to make or restore peace and friendship, or form a compact, or for ratifying a covenant”
2. By His death on the cross, Jesus has become the Mediator of the new covenant – Hebrews 9:15; Hebrews 12:24
3. This new covenant is here referred to as “a better covenant”
a. Better than what? Better than the “first covenant” – Hebrews 8:7
b. Which was established through Moses
C. ESTABLISHED ON BETTER PROMISES
1. What makes the new covenant better than the old are its promises
2. Some of those promises are explained later – Hebrews 8:10-12
3. But Peter describes the promises we receive as “exceedingly great and precious promises” – 2 Peter 1:3-4
Conclusion
1. With this transition passage, then, we are introduced to things that we will be discussing as we proceed through this letter.
a. The better covenant we have in Christ, based upon its better promises
b. The better ministry of Christ as our High Priest in heaven, seated at God’s right hand
2. When such things are properly understood, we can see how Jesus is truly our glorious High Priest!
a. One who stands ready to minister in our behalf
b. He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him – Hebrews 7:25
c. He is able to aid those who are tempted – Hebrews 2:18
a. Have you accepted Jesus as your High Priest by obeying His gospel? – Hebrews 5:9
b. For those who have not obeyed His gospel, we find this awesome warning – 1 Thessalonians 1:7-9
c. Please render obedience to the gospel today if you have not yet done so! – Acts 2:36-39

Hebrews 07:20-28 The Superiority of Christ’s Priesthood – audio

Text: Hebrews 7:20-28
Introduction
1. In the first seven chapters of the epistle to the Hebrews, the main thought is the superiority of Christ
a. To the prophets – Hebrews 1:1-3
b. To angels – Hebrews 1:4-2:18
c. To Moses – Hebrews 3:1-5
d. To Aaron and his Levitical priesthood – Hebrews 5:1-10; 7:1-28
2. In showing the superiority of Jesus’ priesthood, the author has done so step-by-step
a. Jesus is qualified to be a priest by virtue of His calling by God and His suffering – Hebrews 5:1-8
b. He has been called to be a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek – Hebrews 5:9-10
c. The priestly order of Melchizedek is shown to be superior by comparing Abraham and Melchizedek – Hebrews 7:1-10
d. That Christ has become such a priest has several implications – Hebrews 7:11-19
1) The Levitical priesthood could not make one perfect before God
2) The Law upon which the Levitical priesthood was based has been annulled
3) Christ now provides a better hope, through which we draw near to God
3. This brings us to Hebrews 7:20-28, in which we come to the conclusion
a. Where Jesus is contrasted with those who served in the Levitical priesthood
b. Where the superiority of Christ’s priesthood is clearly demonstrated
Body
I. HIS DIVINE APPOINTMENT (Hebrews 7:20-22)
A. LEVITICAL PRIESTS WERE APPOINTED BY A COMMAND
1. Beginning with Aaron, he and his descendants served in the Levitical priesthood
2. It was a divine command that so appointed them – Exodus 28:1-4
3. While divinely commanded, it was not with an oath
B. JESUS WAS MADE A PRIEST WITH AN OATH
1. In Psalm 110:4, God swore an oath concerning the coming Messiah and His priesthood
2. We saw earlier that a promise joined with an oath really confirms the immutability (unchangeableness) of God’s counsel – Hebrews 6:17
3. Appointed by an oath and not just a command, Jesus has become a surety of a better Covenant – Hebrews 7:22
a. surety means guarantor (NEB)
b. Appointed by such an oath from God, Jesus guarantees the new covenant, that it is better (there is that key word again!)
II. HIS ETERNAL INTERCESSION (Hebrews 7:23-25)
A. LEVITICAL PRIESTS WERE LIMITED IN SERVICE BY DEATH
1. When one died, another took his place
2. Of necessity there had to be many priests
B. JESUS EVER LIVES TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR US
1. That is because He continues forever
2. As seen earlier, Jesus came according to the power of an endless life – Hebrews 7:16
3. He therefore has an unchangeable priesthood
a. He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him
1) He can do what the law could not do: make one perfect – Hebrews 7:19
2) That is, make one holy, and blameless – Colossians 1:21-22
b. And He ever lives to make intercession for them
1) I have always been impressed by this phrase
2) For it suggests what Jesus is doing for us now, and is most willing to do!
III. HIS PERFECT CHARACTER (Hebrews 7:26-27)
A. LEVITICAL PRIESTS WERE SINNERS
1. Some more so than others
2. Even the best of them had to offer up sacrifices
a. On a daily basis
b. For his own sins before offering sacrifices others
B. JESUS IS SEPARATE FROM SINNERS
1. We see our High Priest described in regards to:
a. His holy character: holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners
b. His preeminent position: higher than the heavens
c. Thus He does not need to offer sins for Himself
2. This makes Him a High Priest fitting (becoming, seemly) for us
IV. HIS PERMANENT SACRIFICE (Hebrews 7:27)
A. THE LEVITICAL PRIESTS SACRIFICED DAILY
1. Every day they offered sacrifices for their own sins and for those of the people
2. That they had to be continually offered implies a fundamental weakness in the efficacy of the sacrifices themselves
3. Later we learn that the problem was the inability of animal sacrifices to make one perfect and to cleanse the conscience of sins – Hebrews 10:1-4; cf. 9:9
B. JESUS OFFERED HIMSELF ONCE FOR ALL
1. This implies the efficacy of His sacrifice
2. The superiority of Jesus’ sacrifice will be explained further, later on – Hebrews Chapters 9 – 10
Conclusion
1. In Hebrews 7:28, we find a summary statement that contrasts the two priesthoods
a. The law, upon which the Levitical priesthood derives its authority, appoints men who have weaknesses; for example:
1) They are sinners themselves, and death terminates their service
2) Their sacrifices cannot truly remove sin, so had to be repeated daily and yearly
b. The oath, given after the law and the basis for Christ’s priesthood, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever; for example:
1) His humanity and the obedience learned through suffering makes Him most fitting to be our High Priest – Hebrews 2:17-18; Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 5:8-9
2) His sinlessness makes the sacrifice of Himself the perfect and all-sufficient sacrifice, given once for all! – Hebrews 10:12-14
2. In chapters 9 and 10, the focus of this epistle will center on the superiority of Christ’s sacrifice; but for now, our attention has been on those things that illustrate our great High Priest:
a. His appointment by an oath from God, not just a command
b. His eternal intercession, not limited by death
c. His perfect character, untainted by sin
d. His permanent sacrifice, offered once for all when He offered Himself
3. Don’t you desire to have such a High Priest interceding in your behalf?
a. Then as Christians:
1) Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. – Hebrews 4:16
2) Let us never forget that He ever lives to make intercession for those who come to God through Him!
b. If you have never been immersed for the forgiveness of your sins:
1) Hear, Believe, Repent, Confess, Be Baptized
2) Live a faithful life

Text: Hebrews 7:11-19
Introduction
1. A major theme in the epistle to the Hebrews is the priesthood of Jesus Christ
a. His humanity prepared Him to be a merciful and faithful High Priest – Hebrews 2:17
b. He is the High Priest of our confession – Hebrews 3:1
c. He is a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens – Hebrews 4:14
d. He is a sympathetic High Priest, for He was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin – Hebrews 4:15
e. His calling as High Priest came from God Himself – Hebrews 5:5-6
2. His is a unique priesthood, however:
a. It is NOT according to the Levitical priesthood
1) He is a not priest in the order of Aaron
2) A priesthood that began with the giving of the Law through Moses at Matthew Sinai
b. His priesthood is according to the order of Melchizedek – Hebrews 5:9-10
1) Melchizedek was a priest of God Most High who met Abram – Genesis 14:14-20
2) And God swore that the Messiah would be a priest like Melchizedek – Psalm 110:4
3. In our previous study, we saw Melchizedek was superior in that:
a. He received tithes from Abraham – Hebrews 7:4-6a
b. He blessed Abraham – Hebrews 7:6b-7
c. Even Levi, in the loins of his ancestor Abraham, paid tithes to Melchizedek – Hebrews 7:9-10
d. All of this proving that the priesthood of Christ, which is after the order of Melchizedek, is superior to the Levitical priesthood
4. That Jesus would come to serve as a priest after the order the Melchizedek is not without significance and major implications:
a. Regarding the efficacy of the Levitical priesthood
b. Regarding the law of Moses itself!
Body
I. THE LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD WAS LACKING (Hebrews 7:11)
A. IT DID NOT BRING PERFECTION
1. Otherwise there would not have been another priest to arise like Melchizedek
2. That one was foretold (Psalms 110:4) and has come proves the order of Aaron was lacking
B. THE MEANING OF PERFECTION
1. Perfection means completeness and in this context it speaks of making men acceptable to God
2. The Old Law with its priesthood could never fully reconcile man back to God
a. Animal sacrifices could not make one perfect – Hebrews 10:1
b. They could not cleanse the sinner’s conscience – Hebrews 10:2-3; 9:9
c. They could not take away sin – Hebrews 10:4; 10:11
II. THE LAW HAS BEEN ANNULLED (Hebrews 7:12-18)
A. A CHANGE IN THE PRIESTHOOD SIGNIFIES A CHANGE IN THE LAW
1. Jesus came from the tribe of Judah, not Levi – Hebrews 7:13-14; Matthew 1:1-2
2. Moses had not authorized anyone from Judah to serve as priest; indeed, God specifically forbid anyone other than a descendant of Aaron – Numbers 16:40
3. For Christ to serve as priest, then, a change must have occurred – Hebrews 7:14
4. Especially for one who serves according to the power of an endless life – Hebrews 7:15-17
a. The Levitical priests were mortal men, whose service ended at death
b. But Jesus is a priest forever, His priesthood is therefore unchangeable – Hebrews 7:24
B. WITH THE CHANGE IN PRIESTHOOD, THE LAW IS NOW ANNULLED
1. Annulled means to declare as void, to invalidate
2. The former commandment has therefore been set aside – Hebrews 7:18-19a
a. Because it was weak and unprofitable
b. In the sense of making us perfect – Hebrews 10:1
3. That the Law has been done away should not surprise us
a. God foretold this would happen – Jere 31:31
b. Jesus implied that the Law would be done away once it was fulfilled – Matthew 5:17-18
1) One jot or tittle would not pass from the law until it was fulfilled
2) If the priesthood has changed, then it must have been fulfilled and done away!
c. Paul described how Jesus abolished it in His death on the cross
1) To the Ephesians – Ephesians 2:14-16
2) To the Colossians – Colossians 2:14-16
C. THIS SIGNIFICANCE OF CHRIST’S PRIESTHOOD HAS POWERFUL IMPLICATIONS
a. With the Law annulled, it is folly to seek justification by the Law – Galatians 5:4
b. It also explains why we should not go to the Old Law to find our authority for the work, worship, and organization of the church!
III. THERE IS NOW A BETTER HOPE (Hebrews 7:19)
A. THROUGH WHICH WE CAN DRAW NEAR TO GOD
1. As seen earlier, the Levitical priesthood did not offer perfection
a. Its sacrifices could not make one perfect regarding:
1) Consciousness of sins, for sacrifices were year by year – Hebrews 10:1-3
2) Actual forgiveness of sins, for it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins – Hebrews 10:4
b. Thus the Law, because of its weakness and unprofitableness, made nothing perfect – Hebrews 7:18-19
2. But now we have in Christ a better hope
a. Here we find the keyword of this epistle: better
1) First used in comparing Jesus to angels – Hebrews 1:4
2) Used later in contrasting the new covenant and its promises with the old covenant – Hebrews 7:22; Hebrews 8:6
b. Our hope in drawing near to God is now better than before!
B. CHRIST’S SUPERIOR PRIESTHOOD IS THE BASIS OF THAT HOPE
1. Because Jesus is a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek, our hope for drawing near to God is much better:
a. As we’ve seen, Melchizedek is superior to Abraham and Levi
b. Therefore his priesthood is superior to the Levitical priesthood
c. Making Jesus’ own priesthood superior
2. More evidence of superiority will be considered shortly (Hebrews 7:20-28), but for now note again how the greatness of Jesus’ priesthood should strengthen our hope in drawing near to God:
a. Our High Priest has passed through the heavens – Hebrews 4:14
b. Our High Priest can sympathize with our weaknesses – Hebrews 4:15
c. Our High Priest makes it possible to come boldly to the throne of grace and obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need – Hebrews 4:16
3. Can we see how His service as our High Priest provides a better hope, through which we draw near to God?
Conclusion
1. More is yet to come regarding Christ’s Priesthood, but perhaps we can appreciate how
a. The Levitical priesthood does not provide what man really needs (access to God)
b. There has been a change in the Law; indeed, it has been replaced with a new covenant
c. In Jesus, our hope in drawing near to God is much better than ever before!
2. In view of such things
a. Why would the Hebrew Christians ever want to leave Jesus and return to the Law?
b. Why would people today seek to use the Law to justify religious practices, as many do when they turn to the Old Testament to establish authority for such things as a separate priesthood (clergy), burning of incense, or even instrumental music?
3. Jesus is the only way to God (John 14:6). Are you willing to come to the Father through Him? Let us be sure to serve God through Him only!

Text: Hebrews 1:1-3
Introduction:
1. The Epistle to the Hebrews is unique in its beginning
a. There is no mention of the author’s name, nor the recipients
b. Rather, it starts like an essay – Hebrews 1:1-3
2. We also notice the purpose of the epistle is twofold:
a. To encourage Jewish Christians to remain steadfast in their faith
b. Accomplished by showing the superiority of Christ and the New Covenant
3. That superiority is demonstrated through a number of contrasts
a. The very first contrast begins in these first three verses
b. In which Jesus is contrasted with the prophets of the Old Testament
Body
I. GOD’S SPOKESMEN IN TIME PAST
A. THE EXPRESSION IN TIME PAST
1. Refers to the period of time prior to the coming of Jesus
2. That period of time described in the Old Testament (Genesis-Malachi)
B. GOD SPOKE TO THE FATHERS BY THE PROPHETS
1. The fathers would be the ancestors of the Israelites
2. The prophets would include great men like Samuel, Elijah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel
a. The Hebrew word for prophet means one who boils over
b. It refers to one who is inspired by God to speak for Him – 2 Peter 1:21
3. At times, the prophets themselves were unsure of what they spoke – 1 Peter 1:10-12
C. GOD SPOKE AT VARIOUS TIMES AND IN DIFFERENT WAYS
1. His revelation did not come all at once, but progressively at different times
2. His methods varied as well, using visions, dreams, symbols, etc.
D. So God has clearly revealed Himself as One who speaks; that is, He communicates His will to mankind!
II. GOD’S SPOKESMAN IN THESE LAST DAYS (Hebrews 1:2-3)
A. THE EXPRESSION IN THESE LAST DAYS
1. The Old Testament often spoke of the last days – Isaiah 2:2; Micah 4:1
2. As such it often special reference to the age of the Messiah
a. The apostles spoke of their time as the time of this fulfillment – Acts 2:16-17
b. Thus it denotes the final phase of history, brought on by the first coming of Christ, continuing until His second coming and the consummation of all things – Hebrews 9:26
B. GOD HAS SPOKEN TO US BY HIS SON
1. God has spoken once again, but note the contrast!
2. In time past it was through prophets; but in these last days it is by His Son!
a. God has sent His own Son to speak for Him!
b. As wonderful as the prophets were, how can they compare to God’s own Son?
3. There is no contrast, especially as we read on and notice
C. THE EXCELLENCE OF GOD’S PERFECT SPOKESMAN
1. Jesus is the appointed heir of all things!
a. The author may have had Psalm 2:8 in mind, for in verse 5 he quotes from Psalm 2:7
b. As the beloved Son, it is only natural that He would be the appointed heir
c. What does all things include?
1) All that the Father has! – John 16:15
2) The authority to raise and judge the dead – John 5:26-29
3) The authority to rule in heaven and on earth – Matthew 28:18
4) This authority Christ has even now! – Acts 2:36; 10:36; Ephesians 1:20-22; 1 Peter 3:22; Revelation 1:5
2. Jesus is through whom He (God) also made the worlds!
a. Not only the Heir, but also the Creator!
b. For it was through the Son that God created the universe – cf. John 1:3; Colossians 1:16
1) All things were created by (or through) Him (He is the Creator)
2) All things were created for Him (He is the rightful Heir)
3. Jesus is the brightness of His (God’s) glory!
a. In Jesus we see the very radiance of the glory of God!
b. As John wrote, we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father… – John 1:14
c. When we behold Jesus, we see an extension of the glory of God!
4. Jesus is the express image of His (God’s) person!
a. He is the exact representation of God’s being and character! – Colossians 2:9
b. Therefore Jesus could say:
1) To Thomas: If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him. – John 14:7
2) To Philip: He who has seen Me has seen the Father; – John 14:9
5. Jesus is upholding all things by the word of His power!
a. Not only the Creator, but also the Sustainer of the universe – Colossians 1:17
1) By His word the universe holds together!
2) All He has to do is say the word, and the universe is no more!
b. Note well:
1) This illustrates the power of His Word
2) Shall we not listen when He speaks? – Luke 6:46
6. Jesus has also by Himself purged our sins!
a. A clear reference to His death on the cross for our sins
b. This speaks to His role as our Redeemer, a theme that will be prominent later in this epistle – Hebrews 2:17; 9:26,28
7. Jesus has also sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high!
a. This Jesus did when He ascended to heaven – Ephesians 1:20; 1 Peter 3:22
b. Sitting at the right hand of God is a place of honor, but for Jesus it is also a place from which He reigns!
1) As indicated in Ephesians 1:21-22; 1 Peter 3:22
2) It is true that He is waiting for the His enemies to be made His footstool (Hebrews 10:12-13), but He is reigning until that time! – 1 Corinthians 15:25-26
3) As stated in Psalm 110:1-2, from which the author to the Hebrews quotes, the Messiah was to rule in the midst of Your enemies
c. Thus Jesus is truly the ruler over the kings of earth – Revelation 1:5; 17:14
Conclusion
1. The sentence does not end with verse three
a. It continues on into verse four, with a declaration of Jesus’ superiority over angels
b. But that verse and the rest of the chapter we shall save for the next study
2. But what have we seen in this lesson?
a. God is clearly a God who speaks, He makes His Will known to mankind!
b. And now He speaks through His Son, Who is:
1) The appointed Heir of all things!
2) The Creator!
3) The brightness of God’s glory, the express image of His person!
4) Our Sustainer, Redeemer, and King!
3. How can one turn their back on Him? Especially when the Majesty on high proclaimed at the Mount of Transfiguration: This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him! – Matthew 17:5
4. Are you heeding the words of the Beloved Son, God’s Perfect Spokesman? – Matthew 28:18-20
