ANSWERS

  1. The High Priesthood of Christ.

  2. The epistle to the Hebrews.

  3. As a High Priest, He represents us in heaven before the throne of God. As our High Priest, He lives to make intercession for us in the presence of God.

  4. in His person; in His function

  5. Because of the work of the Old Testament priests was never finished.

  6. In Jeremiah 31 it says the “Lord God” spoke these words. Here we read that the Holy Spirit spoke these words. The Holy Spirit is God.

DISCUSS/CONSIDER

  1. Read Hebrews 10:1 Because of Christ’s superior sacrifice we have not only been saved and had our sins forgiven, but we have been perfected and sanctified. Does this mean Christians are perfect?

  2. “…let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith…” Because of Christ’s superior sacrifice we can boldly enter the Holiest. Think of the contrast with the Old Testament way of approaching God! We can go into the very presence of God!
