00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.599
 Now, we're going to read from Hebrews chapter 4, verse 14, and into chapter 5.

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:11.779
 We're going to be thinking about Jesus, our great high priest.

00:00:11.779 --> 00:00:21.199
 And just to stick with Psalm 13 for a moment, what we have there is David the king lamenting,

00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:29.780
 feeling that sense of isolation from his God, feeling surrounded by his enemies,

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.420
 yet praising God and trusting in God's constant covenant love.

00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:45.679
 And then we come to Jesus in his life, and there we find too a king who knew what it was to feel a sense of forsakenness,

00:00:45.740 --> 00:00:51.900
 surrounded by enemies, but still trusting and faithful and obedient.

00:00:51.899 --> 00:01:00.320
 And one of the things about Jesus being our great high priest is his ability to identify with us in trouble and suffering.

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.659
 And the fact that Jesus can sing this psalm, and would have sung this psalm,

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:13.180
 speaks powerfully of the sense to which Jesus took on full humanity and identified with us,

00:01:13.180 --> 00:01:21.180
 so that we too can sing psalms like Psalm 13 with trust and with hope and with praise,

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.020
 even when we find ourselves lamenting.

00:01:26.380 --> 00:01:31.140
 But let's turn now in God's word to the book of Hebrews chapter 4.

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:37.700
 We're going to read from verse 14 to chapter 5 and verse 9.

00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:45.859
 So let's hear the word of God together.

00:01:45.859 --> 00:01:54.000
 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,

00:01:54.659 --> 00:01:59.020
 Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.

00:01:59.800 --> 00:02:03.800
 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to feel sympathy for our weaknesses,

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:09.859
 but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet he did not sin.

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.120
 Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence,

00:02:14.659 --> 00:02:19.199
 so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

00:02:20.019 --> 00:02:22.719
 Every high priest is selected from among the people

00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.319
 and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God,

00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.079
 to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

00:02:29.699 --> 00:02:33.519
 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray,

00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.540
 since he himself is subject to weakness.

00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:39.560
 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins,

00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:41.580
 as well as for the sins of the people.

00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:43.980
 And no one takes this honor on himself,

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.840
 but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.879
 In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest,

00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.020
 but God said to him,

00:02:54.660 --> 00:02:57.840
 You are my son. Today I have become your father.

00:02:58.460 --> 00:02:59.780
 And he says in another place,

00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:02.860
 You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

00:03:03.580 --> 00:03:05.659
 During the days of Jesus' life on earth,

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.460
 he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears

00:03:09.460 --> 00:03:11.479
 to the one who could save him from death.

00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.340
 And he was heard because of his reverent submission.

00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:16.259
 Son though he was,

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:18.520
 he learned obedience from what he suffered,

00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:20.480
 and once made perfect,

00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.140
 he became the source of eternal salvation

00:03:23.140 --> 00:03:25.060
 for all who obey him,

00:03:25.340 --> 00:03:27.379
 and was designated by God

00:03:27.379 --> 00:03:29.000
 to be high priest

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.100
 in the order of Melchizedek.

00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:33.360
 Amen.

00:03:33.740 --> 00:03:35.439
 So we're thinking about Jesus, our great high priest.

00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:36.140
 It'd be really helpful

00:03:36.140 --> 00:03:38.719
 if you have your Bible

00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.000
 to hand.

00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:42.540
 So we're going to be thinking about

00:03:42.540 --> 00:03:44.400
 the mystery at the heart of our faith,

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:45.540
 the incarnation,

00:03:46.180 --> 00:03:47.620
 and what that has to say.

00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:48.700
 Today we've been thinking about

00:03:48.700 --> 00:03:50.000
 Jesus, our great king,

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:51.340
 for the last few weeks in church.

00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.340
 Today, Jesus, our great high priest.

00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:55.400
 Because I think it's important

00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:57.759
 that while we recognize

00:03:57.759 --> 00:03:59.180
 and often our experience of Christmas

00:03:59.180 --> 00:04:01.039
 is a time of great joy and happiness,

00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:03.319
 when life is difficult,

00:04:03.819 --> 00:04:04.900
 even at Christmas,

00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:07.300
 sometimes especially at Christmas,

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:09.560
 one of the things that can happen

00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.219
 for people who are suffering

00:04:11.219 --> 00:04:12.400
 and they're surrounded by joy

00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:13.400
 is it's easy to feel

00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.120
 far more alone than ever.

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:16.899
 it's easy to feel

00:04:16.899 --> 00:04:18.120
 far more cut off

00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.680
 from people than ever.

00:04:21.819 --> 00:04:22.980
 So Hebrews 4,

00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:24.259
 verses 14 to 16,

00:04:24.340 --> 00:04:25.259
 where we're going to spend our time,

00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:26.879
 provides wonderful comfort

00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:27.680
 because it says

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:28.920
 for Christians,

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.720
 the very opposite is true.

00:04:31.459 --> 00:04:32.540
 It reminds us

00:04:32.540 --> 00:04:33.500
 of Christ

00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:34.439
 in heaven

00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:36.259
 and the reality

00:04:36.259 --> 00:04:37.459
 that he is just as open

00:04:37.459 --> 00:04:38.000
 and tender

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:38.800
 towards sinners

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.180
 as he was

00:04:40.180 --> 00:04:41.259
 when he walked

00:04:41.259 --> 00:04:41.920
 on the earth.

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.180
 The great mystery

00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:47.000
 of our faith.

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:48.879
 G.I. Packer

00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:49.539
 puts it this way,

00:04:49.579 --> 00:04:50.779
 the baby born at Bethlehem

00:04:50.779 --> 00:04:51.939
 was God made man.

00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:53.599
 He who made man

00:04:53.599 --> 00:04:54.079
 was learning

00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:54.959
 what it felt like

00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.599
 to be a man.

00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:57.980
 And I want us

00:04:57.980 --> 00:04:58.500
 to think about

00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:00.180
 this coming of Jesus

00:05:00.180 --> 00:05:01.019
 and the journey

00:05:01.019 --> 00:05:01.579
 that he made

00:05:01.579 --> 00:05:02.599
 from the glory of heaven

00:05:02.599 --> 00:05:04.079
 and to think about

00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:05.060
 its significance.

00:05:06.099 --> 00:05:07.060
 When we come to

00:05:07.060 --> 00:05:07.860
 a text like this,

00:05:07.899 --> 00:05:08.339
 to think about

00:05:08.339 --> 00:05:08.659
 Jesus,

00:05:08.860 --> 00:05:10.259
 our great high priest.

00:05:11.259 --> 00:05:11.639
 To think about

00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:12.459
 what makes Jesus

00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:13.439
 a great high priest

00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:14.539
 and what difference

00:05:14.539 --> 00:05:15.039
 does it make

00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:15.579
 to our faith?

00:05:17.099 --> 00:05:18.000
 What makes him great,

00:05:18.300 --> 00:05:18.860
 what difference

00:05:18.860 --> 00:05:19.379
 does it make?

00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:22.159
 Very briefly,

00:05:22.219 --> 00:05:22.779
 what difference,

00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:23.539
 what makes Jesus

00:05:23.539 --> 00:05:24.519
 a great high priest?

00:05:24.599 --> 00:05:25.959
 If you have your Bibles

00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:26.439
 and if you look

00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:26.899
 at the beginning

00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:28.019
 of chapter 5,

00:05:29.259 --> 00:05:30.939
 our author identifies

00:05:30.939 --> 00:05:31.759
 key aspects

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.099
 for those

00:05:33.099 --> 00:05:33.819
 in the Old Testament

00:05:33.819 --> 00:05:34.339
 who are called

00:05:34.339 --> 00:05:35.060
 to be priests.

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:37.139
 So verse 1,

00:05:37.939 --> 00:05:38.599
 we discover

00:05:38.599 --> 00:05:39.620
 that they were selected

00:05:39.620 --> 00:05:40.659
 from among the people.

00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:42.639
 Their task

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:43.539
 was to represent

00:05:43.539 --> 00:05:44.019
 the people

00:05:44.019 --> 00:05:44.519
 in matters

00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:45.459
 related to God.

00:05:46.060 --> 00:05:46.659
 Principally,

00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:48.279
 they were to

00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:49.620
 offer sacrifices

00:05:49.620 --> 00:05:51.719
 for sin.

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:53.300
 And we discover

00:05:53.300 --> 00:05:54.099
 in verse 2

00:05:54.099 --> 00:05:55.599
 a certain quality

00:05:55.599 --> 00:05:56.920
 that the high priest

00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:57.819
 was able

00:05:57.819 --> 00:05:59.319
 to deal gently

00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.279
 because of weakness.

00:06:03.539 --> 00:06:05.079
 And then in verse 5,

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.259
 in verse 4 and verse 5,

00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:07.159
 we discover too

00:06:07.159 --> 00:06:08.039
 that people

00:06:08.039 --> 00:06:08.680
 were appointed

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:09.620
 not on their

00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:11.900
 own determination

00:06:11.900 --> 00:06:13.180
 but because

00:06:13.180 --> 00:06:14.000
 they were appointed

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.740
 by God.

00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:16.840
 So we have these

00:06:16.840 --> 00:06:18.420
 qualities of the

00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:19.160
 Old Testament priest

00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:20.199
 but we also discover

00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:21.120
 some limitations.

00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:23.540
 In chapter 5,

00:06:23.579 --> 00:06:24.199
 verse 3,

00:06:25.139 --> 00:06:25.720
 we discover

00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:26.319
 that every

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:27.160
 Old Testament

00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:27.879
 high priest

00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:29.340
 was a sinner

00:06:29.340 --> 00:06:31.160
 offering sacrifices

00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:31.840
 for the people

00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:33.199
 but also for themselves.

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:34.659
 And then if we were

00:06:34.659 --> 00:06:35.379
 to skip forward

00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:36.300
 to chapter 7

00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:37.180
 and verse 23,

00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:38.519
 another fundamental

00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:38.979
 limit

00:06:38.979 --> 00:06:40.620
 of the high priest

00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:42.420
 says there,

00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:43.120
 723,

00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:43.539
 there have been

00:06:43.539 --> 00:06:44.560
 many of those priests

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:45.339
 since death

00:06:45.339 --> 00:06:46.019
 prevented them

00:06:46.019 --> 00:06:46.699
 from continuing

00:06:46.699 --> 00:06:47.420
 in office.

00:06:47.819 --> 00:06:48.740
 So they were all

00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:49.060
 sinners

00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:50.599
 and they all died.

00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.580
 and that's

00:06:53.580 --> 00:06:54.680
 where Jesus

00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:55.280
 is better.

00:06:55.540 --> 00:06:56.320
 One of the great

00:06:56.320 --> 00:06:56.860
 themes of the

00:06:56.860 --> 00:06:57.320
 book of Hebrews,

00:06:57.460 --> 00:06:58.100
 Jesus is better.

00:06:58.200 --> 00:06:58.820
 Jesus is better

00:06:58.820 --> 00:06:59.400
 because he is

00:06:59.400 --> 00:06:59.820
 eternal

00:06:59.820 --> 00:07:00.860
 and the sinless

00:07:00.860 --> 00:07:01.439
 son of God

00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:02.600
 who was appointed

00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:03.500
 by his father

00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:05.140
 as our high priest.

00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:05.580
 Now,

00:07:05.780 --> 00:07:07.260
 to get to our text,

00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:09.000
 three reasons

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.580
 from our text

00:07:10.580 --> 00:07:11.680
 why Jesus

00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:12.320
 is our great

00:07:12.320 --> 00:07:12.980
 high priest.

00:07:13.700 --> 00:07:14.400
 The first,

00:07:15.400 --> 00:07:16.020
 let's call it

00:07:16.020 --> 00:07:16.860
 solidarity.

00:07:17.960 --> 00:07:19.040
 Jesus standing

00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:20.460
 for and standing

00:07:20.460 --> 00:07:23.000
 with his people.

00:07:24.260 --> 00:07:26.460
 In verses 14 to 16

00:07:26.460 --> 00:07:27.920
 we have an anchor verse

00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:29.220
 which is verse 15

00:07:29.220 --> 00:07:30.300
 and then we see

00:07:30.300 --> 00:07:31.220
 two implications

00:07:31.220 --> 00:07:33.200
 from the anchor verse

00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:34.740
 in verses 14 and 16.

00:07:36.020 --> 00:07:37.080
 And verse 15

00:07:37.080 --> 00:07:39.420
 centers on solidarity.

00:07:39.660 --> 00:07:40.620
 Jesus standing

00:07:40.620 --> 00:07:42.439
 with and for

00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:43.860
 his people.

00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:45.080
 And we see this

00:07:45.080 --> 00:07:47.420
 in three ways.

00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:49.199
 we see Jesus

00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:50.379
 sympathy

00:07:50.379 --> 00:07:52.120
 in weakness.

00:07:52.640 --> 00:07:53.740
 For we do not

00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:54.620
 have a high priest

00:07:54.620 --> 00:07:55.520
 who is unable

00:07:55.520 --> 00:07:56.460
 to feel sympathy

00:07:56.460 --> 00:07:57.740
 for our weakness.

00:07:58.540 --> 00:07:59.259
 And this takes us

00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:00.000
 straight to the

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:00.960
 incarnation.

00:08:02.020 --> 00:08:03.140
 God becoming

00:08:03.140 --> 00:08:04.300
 man.

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:05.860
 God taking on

00:08:05.860 --> 00:08:06.960
 human flesh.

00:08:07.020 --> 00:08:07.740
 What does that mean

00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:08.660
 for Jesus?

00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:09.639
 It means he

00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:10.600
 volunteers

00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.340
 to know this

00:08:12.340 --> 00:08:13.120
 humiliation,

00:08:13.400 --> 00:08:14.400
 to be born

00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:15.620
 in a low place,

00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:17.340
 a low birth

00:08:17.340 --> 00:08:18.459
 and a low condition

00:08:18.459 --> 00:08:19.160
 for that to be

00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:19.800
 the pattern

00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.280
 of his life.

00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:22.780
 One of

00:08:22.780 --> 00:08:24.360
 humility

00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:25.300
 and humiliation.

00:08:27.280 --> 00:08:27.879
 The incarnation

00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:28.579
 is showing us

00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:29.079
 the depth

00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:29.780
 of Jesus'

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:30.519
 humility

00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.860
 and love.

00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:34.480
 And the incarnation

00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.820
 is necessary

00:08:36.820 --> 00:08:39.480
 for Jesus

00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:40.799
 to truly represent us.

00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:41.200
 So remember

00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:41.779
 the high priest

00:08:41.779 --> 00:08:42.299
 has to be

00:08:42.299 --> 00:08:43.379
 from among

00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:43.940
 the people.

00:08:43.940 --> 00:08:44.500
 So Jesus

00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:45.380
 had to become

00:08:45.380 --> 00:08:46.620
 one of us,

00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.520
 truly one of us.

00:08:48.900 --> 00:08:49.220
 And that's why

00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:49.820
 those details

00:08:49.820 --> 00:08:50.560
 in the Gospels

00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:51.420
 are so important.

00:08:51.420 --> 00:08:51.940
 When we read

00:08:51.940 --> 00:08:52.440
 of Jesus

00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:53.820
 knowing thirst

00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:54.760
 and hunger

00:08:54.760 --> 00:08:55.840
 and loneliness

00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:57.940
 of his suffering

00:08:57.940 --> 00:08:58.820
 and rejection,

00:08:59.000 --> 00:08:59.520
 his shame

00:08:59.520 --> 00:09:00.960
 and death,

00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:02.560
 Jesus fully

00:09:02.560 --> 00:09:03.620
 identifies

00:09:03.620 --> 00:09:04.640
 with us

00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:04.940
 because

00:09:04.940 --> 00:09:06.220
 he was

00:09:06.220 --> 00:09:06.960
 truly

00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:08.180
 human.

00:09:08.179 --> 00:09:10.199
 and because

00:09:10.199 --> 00:09:11.199
 of that

00:09:11.199 --> 00:09:14.379
 in our pain

00:09:14.379 --> 00:09:15.639
 as believers

00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.399
 Jesus understands

00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:19.000
 and Jesus

00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:19.699
 is pain.

00:09:20.419 --> 00:09:21.679
 In our suffering

00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.419
 Jesus sympathizes

00:09:24.419 --> 00:09:27.159
 and he sympathizes

00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:28.599
 from experience.

00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.899
 when people

00:09:31.899 --> 00:09:32.580
 suffer

00:09:32.580 --> 00:09:34.580
 whether that's

00:09:34.580 --> 00:09:35.500
 an illness

00:09:35.500 --> 00:09:36.820
 or grief

00:09:36.820 --> 00:09:38.759
 often they will

00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:39.480
 find

00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:40.740
 someone else

00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:41.320
 who's gone

00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:42.379
 through the same

00:09:42.379 --> 00:09:43.420
 sort of experience

00:09:43.420 --> 00:09:44.580
 and to draw

00:09:44.580 --> 00:09:45.600
 on encouragement

00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:46.420
 and help

00:09:46.420 --> 00:09:47.180
 and support

00:09:47.180 --> 00:09:48.580
 companions

00:09:48.580 --> 00:09:49.399
 in suffering.

00:09:50.019 --> 00:09:50.639
 Well here

00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:51.399
 is Jesus

00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:52.259
 the ultimate

00:09:52.259 --> 00:09:53.000
 companion

00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:53.860
 in suffering

00:09:53.860 --> 00:09:55.320
 for his people.

00:09:56.560 --> 00:09:57.620
 He sympathizes

00:09:57.620 --> 00:09:59.580
 in our

00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:00.659
 weakness.

00:10:02.259 --> 00:10:03.519
 Jesus has also

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.279
 been tested

00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:06.240
 by temptation.

00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:08.600
 Continuing

00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:09.500
 in verse 15

00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:10.879
 we have one

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:11.659
 who has been

00:10:11.659 --> 00:10:12.180
 tempted

00:10:12.180 --> 00:10:13.940
 in every way

00:10:13.940 --> 00:10:15.659
 just as

00:10:15.659 --> 00:10:16.659
 we are.

00:10:17.539 --> 00:10:18.159
 So again

00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:19.620
 here is Jesus

00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:20.080
 truly

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:20.860
 human

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:22.120
 therefore he

00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:22.720
 experiences

00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:23.220
 true

00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:23.879
 testing

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:24.340
 true

00:10:24.340 --> 00:10:25.320
 tempting

00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:25.899
 and

00:10:25.899 --> 00:10:26.720
 experiences

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:27.399
 those

00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:28.440
 to a

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:29.160
 greater

00:10:29.160 --> 00:10:29.800
 degree

00:10:29.800 --> 00:10:30.779
 than we

00:10:30.779 --> 00:10:31.440
 ever will.

00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:34.060
 It's so often

00:10:34.060 --> 00:10:34.500
 in our own

00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:35.040
 experience

00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:36.060
 and I'm

00:10:36.060 --> 00:10:36.580
 sure we

00:10:36.580 --> 00:10:37.639
 know this

00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:38.700
 we face

00:10:38.700 --> 00:10:39.960
 a temptation

00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:41.040
 and perhaps

00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:41.840
 we resist

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.660
 for a while

00:10:42.660 --> 00:10:43.139
 but often

00:10:43.139 --> 00:10:43.600
 we don't

00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:43.920
 but there

00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:44.500
 comes a

00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:44.740
 point

00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:45.379
 often

00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:46.460
 when we

00:10:46.460 --> 00:10:46.879
 fold

00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:47.399
 we give

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:48.080
 into that

00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:48.540
 sinful

00:10:48.540 --> 00:10:49.279
 desire

00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:49.759
 and so

00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:50.600
 the temptation

00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:51.019
 then is

00:10:51.019 --> 00:10:51.300
 removed

00:10:51.300 --> 00:10:51.940
 because we've

00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:52.220
 fallen

00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:53.060
 but Jesus

00:10:53.059 --> 00:10:53.500
 never

00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:53.919
 falls

00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:54.459
 he never

00:10:54.459 --> 00:10:54.859
 folded

00:10:54.859 --> 00:10:55.259
 so the

00:10:55.259 --> 00:10:55.779
 intensity

00:10:55.779 --> 00:10:56.159
 of the

00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:56.639
 temptation

00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.000
 only grows

00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:58.539
 and builds

00:10:58.539 --> 00:10:59.039
 but Jesus

00:10:59.039 --> 00:10:59.500
 remained

00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:00.059
 faithful

00:11:00.059 --> 00:11:02.339
 and again

00:11:02.339 --> 00:11:02.839
 the gospel

00:11:02.839 --> 00:11:03.459
 writers

00:11:03.459 --> 00:11:04.599
 don't hide

00:11:04.599 --> 00:11:05.319
 this reality

00:11:05.319 --> 00:11:05.959
 from us

00:11:05.959 --> 00:11:06.459
 so we

00:11:06.459 --> 00:11:06.859
 discover

00:11:06.859 --> 00:11:07.319
 in the

00:11:07.319 --> 00:11:07.739
 wilderness

00:11:07.739 --> 00:11:08.279
 the devil

00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:09.019
 tempting

00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:09.419
 Jesus

00:11:09.419 --> 00:11:10.599
 to seek

00:11:10.599 --> 00:11:11.219
 comfort

00:11:11.219 --> 00:11:12.099
 rather than

00:11:12.099 --> 00:11:12.579
 obedience

00:11:12.579 --> 00:11:13.559
 to God

00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:14.799
 to pursue

00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:15.799
 wealth

00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:16.479
 rather than

00:11:16.479 --> 00:11:17.039
 live for the

00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:17.939
 kingdom of

00:11:17.939 --> 00:11:18.279
 heaven

00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:18.979
 and true

00:11:18.979 --> 00:11:19.559
 spiritual

00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:19.939
 treasure

00:11:19.940 --> 00:11:20.340
 we see

00:11:20.340 --> 00:11:20.500
 him

00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:20.720
 being

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:21.120
 tempted

00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:21.880
 to

00:11:21.880 --> 00:11:22.880
 power

00:11:22.880 --> 00:11:25.100
 and then

00:11:25.100 --> 00:11:25.900
 in Gethsemane

00:11:25.900 --> 00:11:26.240
 the night

00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:26.760
 before the

00:11:26.760 --> 00:11:27.280
 cross

00:11:27.280 --> 00:11:28.780
 he experiences

00:11:28.780 --> 00:11:29.580
 that temptation

00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:30.480
 to avoid

00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:31.640
 suffering

00:11:31.640 --> 00:11:35.320
 to seek

00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:36.560
 glory

00:11:36.560 --> 00:11:37.460
 some other

00:11:37.460 --> 00:11:37.760
 way

00:11:37.760 --> 00:11:38.360
 so Jesus

00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:39.560
 knows

00:11:39.560 --> 00:11:40.600
 temptation

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.080
 again by

00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:42.700
 personal

00:11:42.700 --> 00:11:43.620
 experience

00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:45.259
 and he

00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:45.700
 is able

00:11:45.700 --> 00:11:46.379
 to give

00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:47.399
 grace

00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:48.200
 and help

00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:48.679
 for us

00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:49.120
 when we

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:49.799
 are tempted

00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:50.179
 and he

00:11:50.179 --> 00:11:50.580
 sends

00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:51.500
 the spirit

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:52.820
 to his

00:11:52.820 --> 00:11:53.179
 people

00:11:53.179 --> 00:11:53.600
 so that we

00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:54.200
 might say

00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:55.460
 no to sin

00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:56.200
 and yes

00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:57.480
 to choosing

00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:58.700
 righteousness

00:11:58.700 --> 00:12:03.799
 and the

00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:04.600
 third thing

00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:05.440
 to notice

00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:06.700
 from verse

00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:07.539
 15

00:12:07.539 --> 00:12:07.940
 which is

00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:08.399
 hugely

00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:09.120
 significant

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:09.740
 that we

00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:10.180
 have

00:12:10.180 --> 00:12:11.100
 in Jesus

00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:12.680
 a righteous

00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:14.099
 representative

00:12:14.099 --> 00:12:15.559
 so Jesus

00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.679
 stands with

00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:17.059
 us and

00:12:17.059 --> 00:12:17.719
 has experienced

00:12:17.719 --> 00:12:18.299
 what we

00:12:18.299 --> 00:12:18.759
 have

00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:19.539
 experienced

00:12:19.539 --> 00:12:20.120
 and will

00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:20.719
 experience

00:12:20.719 --> 00:12:21.239
 yet

00:12:21.239 --> 00:12:22.699
 there's a

00:12:22.699 --> 00:12:23.379
 difference

00:12:23.379 --> 00:12:24.579
 and it makes

00:12:24.579 --> 00:12:24.899
 all the

00:12:24.899 --> 00:12:25.219
 difference

00:12:25.219 --> 00:12:25.659
 in the world

00:12:25.659 --> 00:12:26.039
 he

00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:26.819
 did

00:12:26.819 --> 00:12:27.539
 not

00:12:27.539 --> 00:12:28.179
 sin

00:12:28.179 --> 00:12:30.859
 and that's

00:12:30.859 --> 00:12:31.339
 why

00:12:31.339 --> 00:12:32.620
 in chapter

00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:33.259
 7

00:12:33.259 --> 00:12:33.579
 verse

00:12:33.579 --> 00:12:34.339
 27

00:12:34.339 --> 00:12:35.419
 we have

00:12:35.419 --> 00:12:35.599
 this

00:12:35.599 --> 00:12:36.099
 important

00:12:36.099 --> 00:12:36.719
 truth

00:12:36.719 --> 00:12:37.899
 unlike

00:12:37.899 --> 00:12:38.339
 the other

00:12:38.339 --> 00:12:38.659
 high

00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:39.259
 priests

00:12:39.259 --> 00:12:40.099
 Jesus

00:12:40.099 --> 00:12:40.519
 does not

00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:40.819
 need to

00:12:40.819 --> 00:12:41.059
 offer

00:12:41.059 --> 00:12:41.799
 sacrifices

00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:42.319
 day after

00:12:42.319 --> 00:12:42.559
 day

00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:43.000
 first for

00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:43.359
 his own

00:12:43.359 --> 00:12:43.639
 sins

00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:43.919
 and then

00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:44.199
 for the

00:12:44.199 --> 00:12:44.379
 sins

00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:44.579
 of the

00:12:44.579 --> 00:12:44.859
 people

00:12:44.859 --> 00:12:46.000
 he sacrificed

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:46.599
 for their

00:12:46.599 --> 00:12:46.879
 sins

00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:47.619
 once for

00:12:47.619 --> 00:12:48.159
 all

00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:48.939
 when he

00:12:48.939 --> 00:12:49.359
 offered

00:12:49.359 --> 00:12:50.079
 himself

00:12:50.079 --> 00:12:52.059
 so Jesus

00:12:52.059 --> 00:12:52.739
 again to be

00:12:52.739 --> 00:12:53.379
 to be one

00:12:53.379 --> 00:12:53.679
 of us

00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:54.899
 to truly

00:12:54.899 --> 00:12:55.959
 represent us

00:12:55.959 --> 00:12:56.519
 he needs to

00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:57.399
 come under

00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:58.339
 God's

00:12:58.339 --> 00:12:59.319
 moral law

00:12:59.319 --> 00:13:00.899
 just as we

00:13:00.899 --> 00:13:01.579
 are called

00:13:01.579 --> 00:13:02.219
 to obey

00:13:02.219 --> 00:13:02.539
 God

00:13:02.539 --> 00:13:02.979
 to love

00:13:02.979 --> 00:13:03.259
 God

00:13:03.259 --> 00:13:03.519
 with our

00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:03.699
 heart

00:13:03.699 --> 00:13:03.899
 soul

00:13:03.899 --> 00:13:04.199
 mind

00:13:04.199 --> 00:13:04.639
 and strength

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:04.919
 and to

00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:05.319
 love our

00:13:05.319 --> 00:13:05.579
 neighbor

00:13:05.579 --> 00:13:06.379
 as ourselves

00:13:06.379 --> 00:13:07.259
 so too

00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:07.659
 Jesus

00:13:07.659 --> 00:13:08.459
 must live

00:13:08.459 --> 00:13:08.939
 under

00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:09.980
 that law

00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:11.840
 and Jesus

00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:13.200
 obeyed it

00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:14.480
 and Jesus

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:15.620
 fulfilled it

00:13:15.620 --> 00:13:16.840
 where we

00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:17.440
 as people

00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:18.000
 break it

00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:18.300
 Jesus

00:13:18.300 --> 00:13:18.800
 never

00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:19.380
 did

00:13:19.380 --> 00:13:22.380
 and as

00:13:22.380 --> 00:13:22.580
 the

00:13:22.580 --> 00:13:23.060
 God

00:13:23.060 --> 00:13:23.360
 man

00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:23.620
 then

00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:23.920
 as the

00:13:23.920 --> 00:13:24.200
 great

00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:24.500
 high

00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:24.740
 priest

00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:25.080
 as he

00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:25.380
 gives

00:13:25.380 --> 00:13:26.240
 himself

00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:27.060
 not an

00:13:27.060 --> 00:13:27.440
 animal

00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:28.000
 as a

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:28.700
 sacrifice

00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:29.800
 as our

00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:30.060
 great

00:13:30.060 --> 00:13:30.320
 high

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:30.520
 priest

00:13:30.520 --> 00:13:30.760
 that

00:13:30.760 --> 00:13:31.740
 offering

00:13:31.740 --> 00:13:32.400
 has

00:13:32.400 --> 00:13:33.140
 infinite

00:13:33.140 --> 00:13:33.900
 moral

00:13:33.900 --> 00:13:34.880
 value

00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:35.860
 because

00:13:35.860 --> 00:13:36.299
 here is

00:13:36.299 --> 00:13:36.460
 the

00:13:36.460 --> 00:13:36.799
 God

00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:37.100
 man

00:13:37.100 --> 00:13:37.639
 offering

00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:38.320
 himself

00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:39.460
 covering

00:13:39.460 --> 00:13:39.860
 our

00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:40.500
 infinitely

00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:41.279
 awful

00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:42.320
 sin

00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.960
 as

00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:45.200
 the

00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:45.720
 God

00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:46.139
 man

00:13:46.139 --> 00:13:46.759
 Jesus

00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:47.299
 humbled

00:13:47.299 --> 00:13:47.779
 himself

00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:48.360
 as a

00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:48.860
 substitute

00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:49.340
 to be

00:13:49.340 --> 00:13:49.980
 made

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:50.519
 sin

00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:51.379
 for us

00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:52.559
 to be

00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:52.860
 made

00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:53.639
 a curse

00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:54.820
 for us

00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:56.460
 that we

00:13:56.460 --> 00:13:56.879
 might be

00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:57.299
 forgiven

00:13:57.299 --> 00:13:57.740
 and know

00:13:57.740 --> 00:13:58.100
 God's

00:13:58.100 --> 00:13:58.779
 blessing

00:13:58.779 --> 00:14:01.139
 by grace

00:14:01.139 --> 00:14:01.539
 and through

00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:02.100
 faith

00:14:02.100 --> 00:14:03.820
 Jesus

00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:04.480
 is the

00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:04.940
 only

00:14:04.940 --> 00:14:05.379

 alone

00:14:12.540 --> 00:14:13.080
 of

00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:29.860
 he

00:14:29.860 --> 00:14:30.280
 represents

00:14:30.280 --> 00:14:31.020
 us

00:14:31.020 --> 00:14:31.720
 as one

00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:32.240
 of us

00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:33.240
 but

00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:33.600
 beyond

00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:34.120
 solidarity

00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:34.519
 there's

00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:34.720
 a couple

00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:35.039
 of other

00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:35.399
 things

00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:35.860
 briefly

00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:36.259
 just

00:14:36.259 --> 00:14:36.799
 to

00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:37.320
 notice

00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:37.879
 about

00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:38.600
 the

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:39.139
 ministry

00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:39.399
 of

00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:39.680
 Jesus

00:14:39.680 --> 00:14:39.899
 the

00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:40.159
 high

00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:40.580
 priest

00:14:40.580 --> 00:14:41.840
 verse

00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:42.480
 14

00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:43.580
 let's

00:14:43.580 --> 00:14:43.779
 think

00:14:43.779 --> 00:14:44.019
 about

00:14:44.019 --> 00:14:44.519
 where

00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:45.180
 Jesus

00:14:45.180 --> 00:14:45.820
 represents

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:46.360
 us

00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:46.539
 let's

00:14:46.539 --> 00:14:46.720
 think

00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:47.000
 about

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.419
 this

00:14:49.419 --> 00:14:49.960
 reality

00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:50.440
 therefore

00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:51.340
 since

00:14:51.340 --> 00:14:51.879
 we have

00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:52.500
 a great

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:52.860
 high

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:53.379
 priest

00:14:53.379 --> 00:14:53.600
 who

00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:53.740
 has

00:14:53.740 --> 00:14:54.460
 ascended

00:14:54.460 --> 00:14:55.139
 into

00:14:55.139 --> 00:14:55.820
 heaven

00:14:55.820 --> 00:14:57.019
 Jesus

00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:57.259
 the

00:14:57.259 --> 00:14:57.399
 son

00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:57.539
 of

00:14:57.539 --> 00:14:57.700
 God

00:14:57.700 --> 00:14:57.940
 let's

00:14:57.940 --> 00:14:58.139
 hold

00:14:58.139 --> 00:14:58.480
 firmly

00:14:58.480 --> 00:14:58.659
 to

00:14:58.659 --> 00:14:58.799
 the

00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:59.039
 faith

00:14:59.039 --> 00:14:59.200
 we

00:14:59.200 --> 00:14:59.580
 profess

00:14:59.580 --> 00:15:00.759
 and

00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:00.960
 so

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:01.379
 here's

00:15:01.379 --> 00:15:01.519
 the

00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:02.200
 difference

00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:02.500
 another

00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:02.980
 difference

00:15:02.980 --> 00:15:03.279
 between

00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:03.680
 Jesus

00:15:03.680 --> 00:15:03.940
 as

00:15:03.940 --> 00:15:04.180
 high

00:15:04.180 --> 00:15:04.460
 priest

00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:04.740
 and

00:15:04.740 --> 00:15:04.899
 the

00:15:04.899 --> 00:15:05.060
 old

00:15:05.060 --> 00:15:05.460
 testament

00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:07.000
 they

00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:07.920
 performed

00:15:07.920 --> 00:15:08.200
 their

00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:08.800
 sacrifices

00:15:08.800 --> 00:15:09.259
 in

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:09.620
 the

00:15:09.620 --> 00:15:10.120
 temple

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:10.399
 which

00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:10.539
 was

00:15:10.539 --> 00:15:10.700
 a

00:15:10.700 --> 00:15:11.300
 representation

00:15:11.300 --> 00:15:12.560
 of

00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:15.180
 heaven

00:15:15.180 --> 00:15:15.879
 God's

00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:16.379
 presence

00:15:16.379 --> 00:15:17.120
 but where

00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:17.279
 is

00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:17.620
 Jesus

00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:18.060
 acting

00:15:18.060 --> 00:15:18.259
 he's

00:15:18.259 --> 00:15:18.399
 not

00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:18.680
 acting

00:15:18.680 --> 00:15:18.800
 in

00:15:18.800 --> 00:15:18.899
 the

00:15:19.800 --> 00:15:20.940
 Jesus

 actually

00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:21.879
 represents

00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:22.420
 us

00:15:22.420 --> 00:15:22.779

00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:23.899

 presence

00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:24.720
 of

00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:24.960

 has

00:15:28.300 --> 00:15:28.440
 of

00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:28.639
 God

00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:29.060
 sitting

00:15:29.060 --> 00:15:29.580
 on

00:15:29.580 --> 00:15:29.759
 the

00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:31.600
 there

00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.300
 he's

00:15:33.300 --> 00:15:33.580
 pleading

00:15:33.580 --> 00:15:33.779
 our

00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:34.399

00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:35.879
 from

00:15:41.460 --> 00:15:41.720
 is great

00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.180
 hope for

00:15:42.180 --> 00:15:42.680
 us

00:15:42.680 --> 00:15:43.840
 when we

00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:54.820
 and

00:15:54.820 --> 00:15:55.020
 then

00:15:55.020 --> 00:15:55.520
 in

00:15:58.820 --> 00:15:59.060
 again

00:15:59.060 --> 00:15:59.220
 about

00:15:59.220 --> 00:15:59.379
 how

00:15:59.379 --> 00:15:59.660
 long

00:15:59.660 --> 00:15:59.940
 Jesus

00:15:59.940 --> 00:16:00.400
 represents

00:16:00.400 --> 00:16:00.760
 us

00:16:00.760 --> 00:16:00.920
 for

00:16:00.920 --> 00:16:01.100
 what's

00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:01.220
 the

00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:01.620

 of

00:16:02.540 --> 00:16:03.480
 and

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:03.680
 we're

00:16:03.680 --> 00:16:04.100
 reminded

00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:04.580
 in

00:16:04.760 --> 00:16:05.180

00:16:05.180 --> 00:16:05.500
 Jesus

00:16:05.500 --> 00:16:05.780
 is

00:16:05.780 --> 00:16:05.960
 the

00:16:09.660 --> 00:16:10.140

00:16:10.140 --> 00:16:10.940
 you

00:16:10.940 --> 00:16:11.180
 are

00:16:11.180 --> 00:16:11.340
 a

00:16:11.340 --> 00:16:11.680
 priest

00:16:11.680 --> 00:16:12.500
 forever

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:13.440
 in

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:13.660
 the

 chapter

00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:16.700

00:16:16.700 --> 00:16:16.860
 we

00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:17.080
 didn't

00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:17.360
 read

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:17.480
 it

00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:17.740
 but we

00:16:17.740 --> 00:16:17.920
 can

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:18.120
 go

00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:18.440
 there

00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:18.659
 because

00:16:18.659 --> 00:16:18.840
 it's

00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:19.440
 important

00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:20.240
 because

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:20.659
 Jesus

00:16:20.659 --> 00:16:21.080
 lives

00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:21.580
 forever

00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:22.299
 he

00:16:22.299 --> 00:16:22.440
 is

00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:22.600
 a

 permanent

00:16:23.019 --> 00:16:23.679
 priesthood

00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:24.360
 therefore

00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:24.639
 he

00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:24.799
 is

00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:25.039
 able

00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:25.259
 to

00:16:25.259 --> 00:16:25.519
 save

00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:26.279
 completely

 always

 stops

00:16:38.419 --> 00:16:38.620
 where

00:16:38.620 --> 00:16:38.899
 Jesus

00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:39.399
 stops

00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:40.580
 representing

00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:40.960
 his

00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:41.200

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.480
 sacrifice

00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:43.700
 is

00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:43.940
 not

00:16:43.940 --> 00:16:44.799
 efficient

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:45.039
 and

00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:45.539
 sufficient

00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:48.759
 because

00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:48.919
 he

00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:49.200
 lives

00:18:44.420 --> 00:18:44.839
 move on

00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:44.980
 to

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:45.339
 think

00:18:45.339 --> 00:18:46.000
 briefly

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:46.220
 about

00:18:46.220 --> 00:18:46.420
 what

00:18:46.420 --> 00:18:46.920
 difference

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.720
 does

00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:47.860
 it

00:18:47.860 --> 00:18:48.180
 make

00:18:48.180 --> 00:18:48.519
 for

00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:48.700
 our

00:18:48.700 --> 00:18:49.079
 faith

00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:49.819
 so

00:18:49.819 --> 00:18:50.079
 verse

00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:50.460
 15

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:50.620
 is

00:18:50.620 --> 00:18:50.759
 the

00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:51.120
 anchor

00:18:51.120 --> 00:18:51.539
 verse

00:18:51.539 --> 00:18:52.200
 there are

00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:52.339
 two

00:18:52.339 --> 00:18:52.920
 implications

00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:53.440
 that

00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:53.660
 are

00:18:53.660 --> 00:18:54.240
 tied

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:54.920
 to

00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:55.279
 it

00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:56.420
 and

00:18:56.420 --> 00:18:56.720
 since

00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:56.980
 this

00:18:56.980 --> 00:18:57.180
 is

00:18:57.180 --> 00:18:57.519
 true

00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:57.779
 of

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:58.079
 Jesus

00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:58.339
 the

00:18:58.339 --> 00:18:58.579
 author

00:18:58.579 --> 00:18:59.140
 says

00:18:59.140 --> 00:19:00.440
 Christians

00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:01.100
 should

00:19:01.100 --> 00:19:02.140
 to use

00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:02.240
 the

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:02.519
 language

00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:02.920
 let

00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:03.559
 us

00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:05.740
 so

00:19:05.740 --> 00:19:06.000
 two

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:06.319
 things

00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:06.500
 the

00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:06.799
 first

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:07.180
 let

00:19:07.180 --> 00:19:07.559
 us

00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:08.240
 is

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:08.440
 in

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:08.759
 verse

00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:09.799
 14

00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:11.079
 since

00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:11.439
 Jesus

00:19:11.439 --> 00:19:11.699
 is

00:19:11.699 --> 00:19:11.879
 our

00:19:11.879 --> 00:19:12.259
 great

00:19:12.259 --> 00:19:12.619
 high

00:19:12.619 --> 00:19:13.119
 priest

00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:13.879
 let

00:19:13.879 --> 00:19:14.240
 us

00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:14.699
 hold

00:19:14.699 --> 00:19:15.460
 firmly

00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:16.480
 to

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:16.679
 the

00:19:16.679 --> 00:19:17.059
 faith

00:19:17.059 --> 00:19:17.240
 we

00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:17.659
 profess

00:19:17.659 --> 00:19:19.779
 and

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:19.960
 again

00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:20.199
 that's

00:19:20.199 --> 00:19:20.319
 just

00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:20.480
 to

00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:20.919
 remind

00:19:20.919 --> 00:19:21.259
 us

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:21.659
 that

00:19:21.659 --> 00:19:21.779
 when

00:19:21.779 --> 00:19:21.879
 the

00:19:21.879 --> 00:19:22.079
 author

00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:22.359
 says

00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:22.619
 hold

00:19:22.619 --> 00:19:22.939
 firmly

00:19:22.939 --> 00:19:23.139
 to

00:19:23.139 --> 00:19:23.279
 our

00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:23.519
 faith

00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:23.659
 he's

00:19:23.659 --> 00:19:23.759
 not

00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:23.939
 saying

00:19:23.939 --> 00:19:25.159
 hold

00:19:25.159 --> 00:19:25.399
 on

00:19:25.399 --> 00:19:25.500
 to

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:25.619
 the

00:19:25.619 --> 00:19:25.799
 fact

00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:25.939
 that

00:19:25.939 --> 00:19:26.039
 you

00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:26.399
 have

00:19:26.399 --> 00:19:26.699
 a

00:19:26.699 --> 00:19:27.240
 faith

00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:27.559
 in

00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:27.839
 something

00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:28.199
 faith

00:19:28.199 --> 00:19:28.319
 in

00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:28.759
 itself

00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:29.039
 is

00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:29.859
 worthless

00:19:29.859 --> 00:19:30.199
 but

00:19:30.199 --> 00:19:30.679
 it's

00:19:30.679 --> 00:19:30.939
 all about

00:19:30.939 --> 00:19:31.099
 the

00:19:31.099 --> 00:19:31.500
 object

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:31.659
 of

00:19:31.659 --> 00:19:31.819
 our

00:19:31.819 --> 00:19:32.159
 faith

00:19:32.159 --> 00:19:33.699
 it's

00:19:33.699 --> 00:19:33.819
 the

00:19:33.819 --> 00:19:34.139
 anchor

00:19:34.139 --> 00:19:34.279
 of

00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:34.419
 our

00:19:34.419 --> 00:19:34.699
 faith

00:19:34.699 --> 00:19:35.259
 so

00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:35.399
 he's

00:19:35.399 --> 00:19:35.519
 telling

00:19:43.819 --> 00:19:44.460
 enigmatic

00:19:44.460 --> 00:19:44.779
 figure

 Jesus

00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:49.740
 for

00:19:49.740 --> 00:19:50.460
 us

00:19:50.460 --> 00:19:52.079
 Jesus

 church

00:19:58.339 --> 00:19:59.099
 is

00:19:59.099 --> 00:19:59.439
 Jesus

00:19:59.439 --> 00:19:59.659
 who

00:19:59.659 --> 00:20:00.119
 represents

00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:00.740
 us

00:20:00.740 --> 00:20:01.299

00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:23.739
 to fear

00:22:23.739 --> 00:22:24.319
 being turned

00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:24.599
 away

00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:24.899
 we do

00:22:24.899 --> 00:22:25.159
 not need

00:22:25.159 --> 00:22:25.559
 to fear

00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:26.639
 condemnation

00:22:26.639 --> 00:22:27.099
 because we

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:27.879
 are loved

00:22:27.879 --> 00:22:29.139
 in Jesus

00:22:29.139 --> 00:22:32.199
 we are

00:22:32.199 --> 00:22:32.899
 seen as

00:22:32.899 --> 00:22:33.539
 righteous

00:22:33.539 --> 00:22:34.339
 in

00:22:34.339 --> 00:22:35.359
 Christ

00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:36.539
 and so

00:22:36.539 --> 00:22:36.799
 we have

00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:37.119
 bold

00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:38.059
 confidence

00:22:38.059 --> 00:22:39.139
 when our

00:22:39.139 --> 00:22:39.579
 confidence

00:22:39.579 --> 00:22:40.740
 is in

00:22:40.740 --> 00:22:41.299
 Jesus

00:22:41.299 --> 00:22:45.439
 in our

00:22:45.439 --> 00:22:45.980
 need

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:46.799
 in our

00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:47.339
 suffering

00:22:47.339 --> 00:22:48.679
 sometimes

00:22:48.679 --> 00:22:49.219
 we can

00:22:49.219 --> 00:22:49.740
 content

00:22:49.740 --> 00:22:50.459
 ourselves

00:22:50.459 --> 00:22:51.859
 with

00:22:51.859 --> 00:22:52.939
 drops

00:22:52.939 --> 00:22:53.679
 of human

00:22:53.679 --> 00:22:54.179
 sympathy

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:54.960
 and kindness

00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:56.259
 and that

00:22:56.259 --> 00:22:56.640
 kindness

00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:57.100
 should never

00:22:57.100 --> 00:22:58.240
 be downplayed

00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:58.440
 it's a

00:22:58.440 --> 00:22:58.960
 wonderful

00:22:58.960 --> 00:22:59.500
 thing

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:00.460
 and we

00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:00.740
 should be

00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:01.259
 profoundly

00:23:01.259 --> 00:23:02.400
 thankful

00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:03.259
 that we

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:03.900
 have families

00:23:03.900 --> 00:23:04.360
 and a

00:23:04.360 --> 00:23:04.660
 Christian

00:23:04.660 --> 00:23:05.080
 family

00:23:05.080 --> 00:23:05.519
 that love

00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:06.060
 and support

00:23:06.060 --> 00:23:06.660
 and offer

00:23:06.660 --> 00:23:07.000
 help

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:07.480
 and comfort

00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:08.980
 but we

00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:09.480
 always need

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:10.080
 to remember

00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:12.539
 that when we

00:23:12.539 --> 00:23:12.980
 run to

00:23:12.980 --> 00:23:13.360
 Jesus

00:23:13.360 --> 00:23:13.900
 we're running

00:23:13.900 --> 00:23:14.200
 to the

00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:14.500
 one who

00:23:14.500 --> 00:23:14.880
 has that

00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:15.400
 eternal

00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:16.539
 well of

00:23:16.539 --> 00:23:17.100
 sympathy

00:23:17.100 --> 00:23:17.900
 and compassion

00:23:17.900 --> 00:23:18.940
 that ocean

00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:20.259
 of grace

00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:20.860
 and comfort

00:23:20.860 --> 00:23:21.580
 and compassion

00:23:21.580 --> 00:23:22.400
 for us

00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:27.000
 and so

00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:27.220
 we're

00:23:27.220 --> 00:23:27.700
 invited

00:23:27.700 --> 00:23:29.000
 to trust

00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:29.980
 to God's

00:23:29.980 --> 00:23:30.920
 past

00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:31.480
 grace

00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:31.820
 to give

00:23:31.820 --> 00:23:32.200
 us hope

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:33.280
 for future

00:23:33.280 --> 00:23:33.920
 grace

00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:35.100
 perhaps at

00:23:35.100 --> 00:23:35.759
 Christmas time

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:36.400
 to recognize

00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:37.140
 God's grace

00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:37.720
 in sending

00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:38.019
 us

00:23:38.019 --> 00:23:38.840
 Jesus

00:23:38.840 --> 00:23:39.560
 to trust

00:23:39.560 --> 00:23:40.400
 that if

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:40.660
 he has

00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:41.160
 given that

00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:41.960
 great gift

00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:42.420
 if he has

00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:42.880
 sent his

00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:43.320
 son to

00:23:43.320 --> 00:23:43.820
 die for

00:23:43.820 --> 00:23:44.040
 us

00:23:44.040 --> 00:23:44.840
 he's not

00:23:44.840 --> 00:23:45.080
 going to

00:23:45.080 --> 00:23:45.560
 abandon us

00:23:45.560 --> 00:23:45.860
 he's not

00:23:45.860 --> 00:23:46.060
 going to

00:23:46.060 --> 00:23:46.560
 forget us

00:23:46.560 --> 00:23:46.900
 he's not

00:23:46.900 --> 00:23:47.140
 going to

00:23:47.140 --> 00:23:47.519
 give up

00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:47.920
 on us

00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:48.440
 rather he

00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:48.740
 will be

00:23:48.740 --> 00:23:49.240
 with us

00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:50.319
 and for

00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:50.859
 us

00:23:50.859 --> 00:23:52.420
 and for

00:23:52.420 --> 00:23:52.640
 us

00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:53.440
 always

00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:56.259
 it's a

00:23:56.259 --> 00:23:56.539
 wonderful

00:23:56.539 --> 00:23:57.039
 text

00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:57.259
 and it's

00:23:57.259 --> 00:23:57.839
 a wonderful

00:23:57.839 --> 00:23:58.660
 truth

00:23:58.660 --> 00:23:59.279
 that Jesus

00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:00.859
 is our

00:24:00.859 --> 00:24:01.880
 great high

00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:02.519
 priest

00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.640
 because we

00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:06.059
 need this

00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:06.539
 because there

00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:07.720
 are times

00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:08.400
 when life

00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:08.799
 is hard

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:09.519
 when we

00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:10.779
 are suffering

00:24:10.779 --> 00:24:12.440
 even amidst

00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:13.160
 all the joy

00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:13.819
 and excitement

00:24:13.819 --> 00:24:15.579
 of Christmas

00:24:15.579 --> 00:24:16.440
 and when that

00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:17.039
 happens we

00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:17.599
 need someone

00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:18.500
 to turn to

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:19.259
 we need a

00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:19.740
 place of

00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:20.059
 comfort

00:24:20.059 --> 00:24:20.619
 and refuge

00:24:20.619 --> 00:24:21.579
 and strength

00:24:21.579 --> 00:24:24.119
 and that

00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:24.480
 place and

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:24.960
 that person

00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:25.619
 is Jesus

00:24:25.619 --> 00:24:28.579
 we have

00:24:28.579 --> 00:24:29.079
 that wonderful

00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:29.700
 promise

00:24:29.700 --> 00:24:30.839
 that there

00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:31.299
 will be a

00:24:31.299 --> 00:24:32.339
 day when

00:24:32.339 --> 00:24:32.960
 Jesus our

00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:33.779
 priest king

00:24:33.779 --> 00:24:34.160
 will come

00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:34.599
 back and

00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:35.039
 he'll make

00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:35.680
 everything new

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:36.099
 and everything

00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:36.660
 sad will

00:24:36.660 --> 00:24:37.440
 come untrue

00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:39.799
 but until

00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:40.640
 that day

00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:42.119
 we're invited

00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:42.539
 to keep

00:24:42.539 --> 00:24:43.140
 looking to

00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:43.519
 him to

00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:44.119
 fix our

00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:45.420
 eyes on

00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:45.799
 Jesus

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.579
 let's

00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:49.379
 hold firmly

00:24:49.379 --> 00:24:50.539
 to the

00:24:50.539 --> 00:24:51.059
 faith we

00:24:51.059 --> 00:24:51.419
 profess

00:24:51.419 --> 00:24:53.859
 and let's

00:24:53.859 --> 00:24:54.180
 approach

00:24:54.180 --> 00:24:54.799
 God's throne

00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:55.299
 of grace

00:24:55.299 --> 00:24:56.259
 with confidence

00:24:56.259 --> 00:24:58.200
 to receive

00:24:58.200 --> 00:24:58.819
 mercy and

00:24:58.819 --> 00:24:59.299
 grace to

00:24:59.299 --> 00:24:59.799
 help us

00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:00.059
 in our

00:25:00.059 --> 00:25:00.579
 time of

00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:00.940
 need

00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:02.259
 because we

00:25:02.259 --> 00:25:02.399
 have

00:25:02.399 --> 00:25:02.960
 Jesus

 pray to

00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:26.119
 we pray

00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:27.039
 that you

00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:27.460

00:26:27.460 --> 00:26:27.879
 us to

00:26:27.879 --> 00:26:28.759
 hold firmly

00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:30.019

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:40.099
 be growing

00:26:40.099 --> 00:26:41.099
 in our

00:26:41.660 --> 00:26:42.880

00:27:08.380 --> 00:27:09.620
 stand so

00:27:09.620 --> 00:27:09.980
 that we can
