Hebrews

This week at The 'Tute… we talked about Hebrews. I learned an immense amount of information, but I will only share a few highlights with you.

1. Hebrews 6 – Warning Against Falling Away

  • Warning against walking away from the truth.
  •  Falling away makes it impossible to come back to repentance because it subjects Christ once again to open shame.
  • We can proceed toward that steadfast hope entering through the veil which Christ has opened to us.

2.  Hebrews 9 – The New and The Old
  • Shows how worship in the Old Testament could not perfect the believer.
  • When Christ appeared He entered into the heavenly tabernacle and poured out His own blood on the mercy seat.
  • The blood of bulls and goats was never able to cleanse the conscience of the worshipper
  • The blood of Christ is able to save completely as it cleansed us thoroughly before God.
  • Christ appeared to put an end to sin by His sacrifice.

3. Hebrews 13 –Jesus is Unchanging

  •  A mixture of warnings, requests and final advice.
  •  It is a reminder to the fellowship of Christ, to let love remain, to love each other.
  • As well as remembering to pray for leaders in the church.
  •  Ends with a reminder that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
