Thoughts on Hebrews Study Questions from 10/8


THOUGHTS ON HEBREWS STUDY QUESTIONS

My Sunday School Life Group is studying Hebrews. Every Monday, I post questions that were discussed the day before in Sunday School. I invite you to ponder/think about them and jot down your thoughts.

On Wednesdays, I post some of the ideas that came up in the Life Group's discussion for you to consider and compare with your thoughts.  


These questions were discussed in my Life Group Monday. This post presents thoughts from the class discussion.


Chapter 7 
Vv 23-28

List ways in which Christ is better than human high priests.
 See photo
V26 list traits of Christ. What are they? 
See photo. How is each important for Jesus title of High Priest?
There is no need for Christ to sacrifice for Himself (#1, 2, 3, 6)


What doesn’t Jesus have to do as High Priest? Why not?
 Sacrifice for Himself. Sacrifice at all. 
This idea was a BIG CHANGE OF THINKING for Jews/Hebrews. They had lived hundreds of years under the sacrificial Law. They were "the chosen people," and this made them feel "not special" anymore.

What oath is v28 talking about? Who made it?
This verse targets the priests and calls them weak. Human High Priest was frail. Christ is eternal.
The oath was God's plan all along. It fulfills the Law. God made the oath (The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." Psalm 110:4) 
This comes to be after the veil is torn. We are no longer separated from God. We have direct access to God through Christ and the Holy Spirit.
