1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:24,320
would please turn to Hebrews chapter 6 as we finish up this chapter. This is this is

2
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,880
an amazing ending to this chapter and it's going to be important that we pay attention

3
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:39,680
to why why Christ has to be our high priest forever. It is quite remarkable when you look

4
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:46,440
at just the details and then this necessary requirements in order for us to be saved.

5
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:52,280
There were this work that Christ has done when when the scripture says it's complete

6
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:59,400
is complete in every way. Okay. So we're going to start off in verse 9 and read through.

7
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:05,360
So I want you to pay attention to what's being said here. Though we speak in this way yet

8
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:11,600
in your case beloved we feel sure of better things things that belong to salvation for

9
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:18,520
God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name

10
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:26,040
and serving the saints as you still do and we desire each one of you to show the same

11
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:32,280
earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end so that you may not be

12
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:39,360
sluggish but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises for

13
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:47,180
when God made a promise to Abraham since he had no one greater by whom to swear he swore

14
00:01:47,180 --> 00:01:55,080
by himself saying surely I will bless you and multiply you and thus Abraham having patiently

15
00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:02,400
waited obtained the promise for people swear by something greater than themselves and in

16
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:10,920
order and in all their disputes and oath is a final is final for confirmation. So when

17
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:18,360
God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character

18
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:25,640
of its purpose he guaranteed it with an oath so that by two unchangeable things in which

19
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:33,400
it is impossible for God to lie we have fled for refuge we who have fled for refuge might

20
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:40,360
have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. We have this as a

21
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:48,240
sure and steady steadfast anger anchor of the soul a hope that enters into the inner

22
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:56,200
place behind the curtain where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf having become

23
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:04,320
a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Interesting there is the order of Melchizedek

24
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:10,060
again. So we're going to dig right in you guys ready? All right Father want to thank

25
00:03:10,060 --> 00:03:13,960
you for the opportunity to come to you in prayer and I pray that we have prepared our

26
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,440
hearts for your word and there's so much here Lord we praise you and thank you that you

27
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:24,860
are our high priest forever the promise fulfilled to you be honor and glory forever in Jesus

28
00:03:24,860 --> 00:03:33,920
name amen. Principle number one all of God's promises are guaranteed due to who he is he

29
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:43,080
is his greatest witness. Okay in 2nd Corinthians 1 20 it says this for all the promises of

30
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:52,740
God find their yes in him that is why it is through him that we utter our amen to God

31
00:03:52,740 --> 00:04:01,120
for his glory. So we know that every promise is guaranteed in Christ because of who he

32
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:09,480
is and we'll clarify this in verse 13 and 14 when God made a promise upon Gelomai this

33
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:18,960
word upon Gelomai or epon Gelomai means to engage when God engaged Abraham when he came

34
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:27,200
to Abraham and said Abraham I will do this for you or to you it was a promise an engagement

35
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:37,820
to Abraham that he will keep his word since here it is for when God made or engaged Abraham

36
00:04:37,820 --> 00:04:45,840
since he had no one greater by whom to swear he swore by himself this word swear omnuo

37
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:53,120
is to swear to call a person as a witness. So what God is saying here is Abraham when

38
00:04:53,120 --> 00:05:03,760
I engaged you and I said I will do this I am my own witness he is his witness he doesn't

39
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:10,220
need anyone else to prove as a witness that he will keep his promises look what it says

40
00:05:10,220 --> 00:05:20,080
in verse 14 surely I will bless you and multiply you I will do this that's the engagement I

41
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:28,000
will promise by my own witness I will do this so there it is the two very things that we

42
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,960
see is God's promise or engagement and the witness the omnuo person who is the witness

43
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,840
himself he doesn't need anyone else okay that's number one I want you to understand that God

44
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:47,760
needs nothing or anyone else to guarantee his promises he alone is the guarantee principle

45
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:55,720
number two know with full confidence that God will fulfill his promise he guarantees

46
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:02,160
it and here is another Bible verse numbers 23 19 I'm going to say this verse twice for

47
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,360
you because this verse fits in both areas concerning this principle here it is God is

48
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:16,300
not human that he should lie not a human being that he should change his mind does he speak

49
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:23,320
and not act does he promise and not fulfill absolutely what God says he'll do he does

50
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:28,520
and when he makes a promise he fulfills it God is not human that he changes his mind

51
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:35,960
like us okay people make promises all the time and they never follow through and you're

52
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:41,240
going to find out in the next verse why they don't follow through and if they do follow

53
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:47,560
through there is a reason why they follow through okay now let's look at the verse here

54
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:56,560
verse 15 and thus Abraham having patiently waited obtained the promise here's the person

55
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:03,840
the person is Abraham the reason why the writer here uses Abraham is because if there is one

56
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:10,800
person that the promise started with it was with Abraham the promise of the Jewish people

57
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:18,440
the lineage of the people the promise of the eternal kingdom started with Abraham the promise

58
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:26,840
of the Savior came as a result of a promise given as part of the curse I will put in enmity

59
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:34,840
the promise that God would not destroy earth by flood given to Noah but the promise that

60
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:42,520
there will be an eternal kingdom a people of God Abraham and so that's what we see here

61
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:48,240
look at this word patiently waiting or patiently waited this word patiently waited means to

62
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:56,980
persevere patiently and bravely and enduring misfortunes and troubles so here God makes

63
00:07:56,980 --> 00:08:05,500
a promise and Abraham persevered patiently and bravely through his misfortunes and troubles

64
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:14,000
knowing that God has promised what kept Abraham persevering through his through his misfortunes

65
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:21,940
and bravely walking through them the promise that God would do this I will bless you and

66
00:08:21,940 --> 00:08:28,960
multiply you why else would Abraham leave a country that he grew up in to go to a country

67
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:36,920
he does not know a land that is foreign to him and so next principle you can fully rely

68
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:44,680
on his promises he has made an oath his word is bond now if you guys grew up in the urban

69
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:54,000
areas like I have or cities or if you grew up listening to you know breakdance music

70
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:04,600
I know I did all right that's old school hip-hop stuff you know when you go word is bond you

71
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,800
all know what I'm talking about right you guys get it well that's the idea here his

72
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:19,880
word is his bond he is his bond because he has said it a man is only as good as his see

73
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:26,920
there you go well what God says here is I am my own bond I guarantee what I say by an

74
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:33,160
oath see that's the difference between a promise a promise when you make promises you break

75
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:41,920
them when you make an oath by your word you keep it all right get that fathers when you

76
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:48,320
make a promise you keep your promise man that's important for us to model okay now here we

77
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:55,120
go here's the Bible verse God is not man that he should lie or the son of man that he should

78
00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:04,000
change his mind he as he said and will he not do it or as he spoken will he not fulfill

79
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:11,780
it of course he will now here's the verse for people swear by something greater than

80
00:10:11,780 --> 00:10:20,480
themselves and in all their disputes an oath is a final confirmation so men they will I

81
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:27,360
swear I keep my promise guarantee it with your word make an oath because if you make

82
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,640
an oath that confirms that you're going to keep it right that mean that's what it used

83
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:40,360
to be back in the day you know verbal commitments or verbal promises or oaths are legal if you

84
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,320
say you're going to do something you keep that something right very important that's

85
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:50,240
what it means here now what's interesting is the reality of that confirmation is only

86
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:58,120
as good as the person look what it says in verse 17 so when God desired to show more

87
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,720
convincingly to the heirs of the promise the in changeable character of his purpose he

88
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:12,800
guaranteed it with an oath now look at this word here so when God desired Boulamie Boulamie

89
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:23,560
is to will deliberately have a purpose or be minded isn't that a cool word God deliberately

90
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:32,720
did it he he gave his word deliberately why the reason why he gave his word deliberately

91
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:40,480
is because he wanted to show us right the promises that the of the promise us who are

92
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:48,440
of the promise his immutable the word in unchangeable their immutable character of his purpose in

93
00:11:48,440 --> 00:12:00,040
other words that his immutable unchangeable divine perfection will not change you cannot

94
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:07,480
change him you cannot change his character he is who he says he is and because of that

95
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:17,440
alone because of God's immutability he guarantees that word there guaranteed it keys is mess

96
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:27,520
to oh messy to oh messy to oh is to act as mediator to mediate or to act as surety by

97
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:37,560
pledging one's self okay very important so when we understand God's immutability and

98
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:45,280
that he has guaranteed it the guarantee is he is the surety of pledging himself he's

99
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:52,520
a surety of the guarantee how do we know this how many guys like own your car you like straight

100
00:12:52,520 --> 00:13:00,600
out on it paid it off well when you when you was po right what you do you take your car

101
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:07,640
down to the thief and you walk in you go hey I'd like to I'd like to give my car as collateral

102
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:14,480
for for a loan that's a surety right and be like how much do you need well my car is worth

103
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,160
ten thousand so I like five thousand dollars and they go okay you're gonna pay forty eight

104
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:25,320
percent interest thievery right but in order for you to get the money you got to give a

105
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:34,640
surety well guess who the surety is here God is the surety he is the surety he is the one

106
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:43,280
who has pledged himself and as a result his oath is true so not only does he give a promise

107
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:52,640
he gives a promise with an oath and he backs that oath up with two immutable things you

108
00:13:52,640 --> 00:14:02,840
know what they are his his promise and his oath during mutable unchangeable guaranteed

109
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:11,600
and as a result of this immutable unchangeable guarantee we can know how do we know because

110
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:17,720
it's impossible for God to lie if God was a liar then his promise wouldn't be true if

111
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:25,860
God was a liar then the oath wouldn't stand so he gives these immutable things the promise

112
00:14:25,860 --> 00:14:35,520
and the oath now the pragma this word things pragma is that which has been done isn't that

113
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:43,400
isn't that interesting it also is a deed that which has that has been completed a deed or

114
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:53,160
an accomplished act what did he accomplish how did he guarantee this promise Christ he

115
00:14:53,160 --> 00:15:04,720
is the guarantee okay now all of these things promise oath immutable character immutable

116
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:12,760
is a mutable word his oath and his promises okay these are done in Christ he has accomplished

117
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:19,640
it in Christ and then it says this in which it is impossible for God to lie so not only

118
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:27,200
do you have these truths but God's not a liar so if God says that we are in Christ and that

119
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:34,320
Christ is in the Father then we can absolutely know that all these things are true too right

120
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:40,760
I mean not only he gives us double lockdown he locks us down in the promise look what

121
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:49,760
it says here watch this we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to

122
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:55,200
hold fast to the hope he set before us watch here it is we who have fled for refuge you

123
00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:01,560
know what it means to flee for refuge all right when when there's a war happening where

124
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:08,400
do people go they try to find refuge safety they run they're looking to get away they

125
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,960
don't want to they don't want to die well that's what this word that's what this word

126
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:21,680
hold fast means but look at this it says this this word encouragement is parakelis or parakelis

127
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:28,560
this means a consolation a comfort or a soul or a solace a solace it's a place that we

128
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:37,200
know we can be consoled comforted and have solace solace for what why should we have

129
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:45,600
solace we need solace we need comfort we need consolation so that we can hold fast or keep

130
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:52,680
carefully and faithfully the hope that was given to us I mean when you think about it

131
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:58,520
when you're not in the place of comfort you're not and you're not being consoled you're not

132
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:04,920
you're not really finding your refuge isn't it hard to hold fast to something but when

133
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:12,440
you're in Christ and you're in the refuge you can hold fast to anything he gives and

134
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,840
it's our responsibility to keep carefully and faithfully the hope that was set before

135
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:24,680
us it's your responsibility what is the hope that was set before us Christ last one here

136
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:30,880
we go the reason why we hold fast or keep carefully and faithfully the hope that was

137
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:38,880
set before us is because he is our anchor he is our stable and firm safeguard look at

138
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,160
what it says here Christ has fulfilled the righteous requirements of the high priest

139
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:49,720
for his people he alone is our high priest forever chapter 6 verse 19 and 20 this is

140
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:59,480
what it says we here's the hope we have this as a sure and steadfast anchor this word this

141
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:08,160
statement this phrase sure and steadfast anchor means stable and firm safeguard of the soul

142
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:18,280
he is our stable and firm safeguard why because we have taken refuge in the safeguard nothing

143
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:28,120
can move him nothing can cause him to lose to forget to fail to hold on to you that's

144
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:33,680
why when Jesus says all that the father has given me I will not lose he is your stable

145
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:44,920
and firm safeguard he guards your soul for eternity now so if we have this sure and steady

146
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:52,660
steadfast anchor this stable and firm safeguard of the soul a hope he is a hope that enters

147
00:18:52,660 --> 00:18:59,040
into the inner place behind the curtain now if you know anything about the curtain in

148
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,720
the temple there are two curtains there's the one curtain to enter into the holy of

149
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,920
holies right where the food and where the bread and everything is that and then you

150
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,560
got into the holy place that's the second curtain that's the curtain he's talking about

151
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:22,720
here that Christ our hope has entered into the holy place where the ark is where Jesus

152
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:30,080
has gone as a forerunner on our behalf he has given us the way in this word forerunner

153
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:37,960
means he has left us a way to follow he is the one we should be following that's why

154
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:44,560
Paul when he writes that we can boldly go before the throne he has paved the way for

155
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:50,800
us to go in he is our high priest look what it says here and this clarifies it having

156
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:59,400
become a high priest forever after the order the character the lifestyle of Melchizedek

157
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:12,640
he is the exact copy he and Melchizedek are part of the Godhead I'll show that next month

158
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,320
next week I'm sorry not next month next week okay now there's some very important things

159
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,560
here that to understand concerning the high priest and there's a reason why I'm going

160
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,520
to go through this because when we read about these promises when we read about all the

161
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:35,920
things that he had to accomplish the requirements that had to be done for us this is why okay

162
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,840
now I want you to get this this is going to blow your mind so when we read all about what

163
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:46,640
the writer is saying here in verses 13 through 20 really the whole book of Hebrews at this

164
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:54,360
point we're going to understand some very important things turn to numbers 28 turn the

165
00:20:54,360 --> 00:21:12,920
numbers 28 you got your Bibles little pitter-patters alright here we go numbers 28 this is this

166
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:21,500
is mind-boggling so when God had set in order the requirements of the high priests for them

167
00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:25,760
to come in and take care of the needs of the people and the issue of their sin it wasn't

168
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:35,200
because he was just doing it for the Jews it wasn't just for show okay God does everything

169
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:43,600
for a purpose it wasn't just an earthly thing here what he was setting was precedent you're

170
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:50,480
talking about a holy God who lives in a holy place who must have a holy people who he must

171
00:21:50,480 --> 00:22:00,880
keep holy and will be with him holy eternally that's not something that we just that God

172
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:08,840
just goes hey the work of Christ on the cross did far more than you can even imagine far

173
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:17,960
more and it's important okay here we go numbers 28 verse 1 through 4 and then verse 6 the

174
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:26,000
Lord spoke to Moses saying command the people of Israel and say to them my offering my food

175
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:36,240
for my food offerings my pleasing aroma you shall be careful to offer to me at its appointed

176
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:42,480
time so I want you to understand something God's saying here the offering it's my offering

177
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:52,720
the food my food the aroma my aroma you will do it as I have told you to do it and I will

178
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:59,280
not accept any change or any slight deviation you would do it exactly as I say you're going

179
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:05,200
to do it because it is holy it is mine that's what he's saying here now look what it says

180
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:11,760
in verse 3 and you shall say to them this is the food offering that you shall offer

181
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:23,240
to the Lord two male lambs a year old without blemish day by day every day two male lambs

182
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:34,440
had to be sacrificed every day as a regular offering every day the one lamb you shall

183
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:44,880
offer in the morning and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight isn't that interesting

184
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:52,640
God had to cover their sins all day and covered their sins all night every single day without

185
00:23:52,640 --> 00:24:00,520
the shedding of blood there's no forgiveness of sin isn't that interesting day by day that's

186
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:09,120
crazy there was a daily offering day by day for the sins of God's people look what it

187
00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:17,040
says the one lamb you shall offer in the morning why does it say it in the morning do you guys

188
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:29,080
know when was Jesus crucified what time in the morning nine o'clock in the morning the

189
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:38,040
one lamb offered in the morning isn't that interesting he took care of the daily offering

190
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:45,120
the daily sacrifice required the once for all the reason why he didn't need to be crucified

191
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:51,640
in the evenings because he is the final sacrifice he is the once for all daily sacrifice for

192
00:24:51,640 --> 00:25:00,200
us forever never to be sacrificed again that's what it means once for all okay daily sacrifice

193
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:08,400
that requirement as we read in verses one and two fulfilled here in the morning the

194
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:15,560
daily sacrifice in the morning Christ is the sacrifice in the morning isn't that amazing

195
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:22,880
what a detail have you ever heard that have you been taught that of course not because

196
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:29,120
people don't look at the details of what God does and why he does it and why it's once

197
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:36,640
for all always never again to be sacrificed it gets more detailed than that watch this

198
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:43,620
and then he says verse five also a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a grain offering

199
00:25:43,620 --> 00:25:54,780
mixed with a quarter of hen of beaten of beaten oil it is a regular burnt offering which was

200
00:25:54,780 --> 00:26:03,840
ordained at Mount Sinai for a pleasing aroma a food offering of the Lord isn't Jesus the

201
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:13,400
pleasing aroma the beautiful aroma of sacrifice before our God absolutely there's nothing

202
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:19,160
more pleasant than him interesting enough the scripture says that the high priest was

203
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:28,160
also to bring a gift food offerings are gifts so that's taken care of so not only is he

204
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:36,480
the pleasing aroma which is required in verses one and two he's also the the gift giver to

205
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:44,720
the father which he's what you see here he is the one lamb that shall be sacrificed in

206
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:55,000
the morning now watch this okay look at verse 13 16 through 23 verse 16 through 23 now this

207
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:01,040
is the Passover now this is important because remember when we talked about that Jesus's

208
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:06,940
crucifixion was at the perfect time on the perfect day and that there is no other time

209
00:27:06,940 --> 00:27:15,000
in world history that we could find that the Passover landed on this particular Friday

210
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:21,920
that starting sundown on Thursday night to sundown on Friday is the beginning of the

211
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:29,120
Passover the 14th day of the first month remember that well watch this so not only do we see

212
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:37,640
the daily offering offered we now see the Passover lamb offered on the 14th day of the

213
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:43,440
month is the Lord's Passover actually you know what wait a minute I'm gonna go back

214
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:54,360
a little bit before we get here this is an important statement I want you to look at

215
00:27:54,360 --> 00:28:07,720
look at verse I want to make sure I have this right yep look at verse 3 so you have the

216
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:15,320
two the two lambs okay you have the two lambs one lamb shall be offered in the morning one

217
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:25,800
lamb shall be offered at twilight a tenth of offering oh no we'll move on from that

218
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:33,720
let's go to back verse 16 because it's important alright here we go verse 16 on the 14th day

219
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:39,280
of the first month in the Lord's Passover on the 15th day of the month is a feast seven

220
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:46,160
days shall unleavened bread be eaten on the first day there should be a holy convocation

221
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:53,000
a holy convocation is a celebration in which there is no work okay and you shall not do

222
00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:01,560
any ordinary work but offer a food offering there it is same thing this is Passover a

223
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:13,800
burnt offering to the Lord two bulls from the herd if she if she needs if she needs

224
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:19,360
to take them out you guys can go out there with the baby okay one ram now I want you

225
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:27,280
to see this so not only do you get two bulls but you get one ram now what you think about

226
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:35,960
that what happened when Abraham took Isaac up to the mountain he raised the knife to

227
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:47,080
kill him right what was stuck in the thicket a ram isn't that what happened here not only

228
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:57,120
do you take two bulls but you'll take one ram so Jesus is the ram offering of the Passover

229
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:05,960
so not only is he the daily sacrifice of the lamb he is also the ram that is sacrificed

230
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:13,560
on the Passover and seven male lambs a year old see that they are without blemish also

231
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:20,560
their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil three-tenths of an ifa shall you offer

232
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:30,480
for a bull and two-tenths for a ram a tenth shall you offer for each of the seven lambs

233
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:42,920
verse 22 and also one male goat for sin offering to make atonement you know what the goat is

234
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:51,760
the scapegoat that's the requirement of a high priest so not only is he our daily lamb

235
00:30:51,760 --> 00:31:00,200
once for all for our for every day of our lives he is also the ram required in the same

236
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:07,560
picture you see with Isaac he is also the goat who takes away our sin the atonement

237
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:15,100
of our sin have you ever heard of that of course not because we don't look at Jesus

238
00:31:15,100 --> 00:31:24,340
as our real high priest we look at Jesus as a guy who just saves us if anything this should

239
00:31:24,340 --> 00:31:35,760
make you see him as the living God he has taken care of every required detail for you

240
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:44,000
to enter his heaven he has made the way for you not only has he made the way for you he

241
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:54,920
then has given you full access these are the promises wow what an amazing thought so that's

242
00:31:54,920 --> 00:32:00,280
part of what a high priest does on the time of offering but there's one more thing he

243
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:09,440
does turn to Psalm 5 Psalm 5 just so that you are able to see the details of what God

244
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:17,880
has done for us the requirement of a high priest verse 5 verse chapter Psalm 5 verses

245
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:32,920
1 through 3 I want you to hear the words give ear to my words oh Lord consider my groaning

246
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:43,520
give attention to the sound of my cry my King and my God for to you do I pray oh Lord in

247
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:55,000
the morning you hear my voice and in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch that's

248
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:06,320
prophecy did he not groan and cry did he not in the morning lift his voice early in the

249
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:19,400
morning John 17 did he not also in the morning before noon or around noon say my God my God

250
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:25,840
why have you forsaken me forgive them for they know not what they do that's a priest

251
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:36,720
making intercession for you isn't that interesting so not only is the high priest supposed to

252
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:42,600
do all these all these works that are required to deal with the reality of our entering into

253
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:54,280
the holy place and taking away our sin and being our representative our advocate he also

254
00:33:54,280 --> 00:34:02,480
is our intercessor that's what it says in Hebrews 4 he intercedes for us he gives gifts

255
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:12,480
of offering for us he is our burnt offering our sin offering for us only God can do this

256
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:21,600
so when we look at the reality of the requirement of the high priest he did all that was absolutely

257
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:28,120
required for you to enter into his kingdom it wasn't just for any reason he did those

258
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:40,240
things it wasn't to show off it had a purpose now understanding this stuff how important

259
00:34:40,240 --> 00:34:49,040
is it that we hold on to that we don't walk away from that we keep carefully and faithfully

260
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:55,600
what was given to us all of this is so important that what you read in the beginning of chapter

261
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:04,520
six concerning those who have quote unquote once in light were enlightened and tasted

262
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:14,800
the goodness of God if God had done all this would he repeat all this again because that's

263
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:22,360
what would be required if you could lose your salvation if you weren't eternally secure

264
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:30,480
in Christ every single one of these details has to be done all over again because that's

265
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:39,240
what's required it's either once for all or it's not it's either good enough for eternity

266
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:48,360
or it's not he's either strong enough to keep or he can't it's not both you are his forever

267
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:54,900
and the work that he has done and the oath that he has given and the promise he has made

268
00:35:54,900 --> 00:36:07,720
guarantees that so we're gonna pick up in chapter seven on Melchizedek and I will share

269
00:36:07,720 --> 00:36:17,160
with you a little that Melchizedek is not who you think he is I'll say that well sort

270
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:23,000
of not really okay so have fun reading that for next week chapter seven we're gonna start

271
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:29,280
off and I pray that you have enjoyed this if I'm gonna pray and then if the men would

272
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,840
come forward for the for the Lord's Supper be really appreciated father I want to thank
