Discuss Hebrews 5 Page 7

    The Apostle offers us the strong meat of the Word in this Chapter. But we are not attuned to it owing to our focus on human and not spiritual things. He says we must be exercised in the recognition of good and evil so that we can choose to do the right thing and find favor with God. He gives us free will because He wants to know who will be his children and accept him as their Father in truth, absolutly, believing even though we haven't seen with fleshly eyes what Moses and Jesus saw plainly while in the flesh. Jesus spoke of it continually because he was a high priest after the order of Melchisidec, who is without father or mother, beginning or end, for there is no lineage stated for him in the Bible as there is for every other person in the bible except Adam. Jesus was such a high priest even though he was born of woman. He is therefor not unfamiliar with our plight and quickly guides us down the staightest way thru this world and into the next, which is the eternal truth and way that he himself was partaker of.

    From this chapter it reveals that just as the high priest was chosen on earth according to the laws that God has given to Israelite priest to sacrifice on behalve of the individuals sins for forgiveness,like wise God the Father has chosen His Son as the promised One to be our High Priest(verse 5,6). As High Priest He is our intersecor for forgiveness when we have sinned and our saviour to help us when we are tempted, for it is written "We can do all things through Christ which strenghen us". Verse 7 show us the relationship between Him and His Father Jesus is that to us as our High Priest.We too can come to Him with or tears and supplications for He will hear us. Christ too were odedient to His Father even to death, so with us, we too can we have the same relationship as He has had with His Father on earth.Verse 8,9 shows that He too suffered being obedient to His Father, but He knew that if He follow perfect in the will off His Father He will save Him.Verse 9 shows us the result of His quest,"He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him".We do not need to ask an earthly priest for forgivness and help in our daily life only our Savior and High Priest Jesus Christ.
