WOW HOMEWORK DUE WED NOV 12

Heb 4:14-5:10

CHRIST OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST

 

  1. While still fresh in your mind, write out at least one specific application you emerged with from the lecture on HIS REST…..what change of attitude or action do you need to make to enjoy His rest in some particular?

 

  1. Read the text, 4:14-5:10 thoroughly, then go back and list every attribute of Jesus named in these verses. (get them all!) Now write verses 14-16 out in your own words, and record it in your journal (wherever you keep notes re: spiritual goals/progress!) How do these truths re: Christ encourage you?

 

  1. Go to Leviticus 9:1-7 to look at the high priest’s role under the Old Covenant. Note the following: who was the designer of the sacrificial system?  Where were the specific purposes of the offerings?

 

  1. Compare Lev. 16:1-6, 11, 15-17 with Heb 5:1-3.  List at least five facts about the work or person of the human high priest.

 

  1. Do you see any significance in the change from the name “Jesus” in 4:14 to the name “Christ” in 5:5? Who or why not? (See Acts 2:36)

 

  1. The Old Test. Quotes in 5:5-6 come from Psalms 2 and 110. Look up these Psalms and record anything else you learn about the Messiah there.

 

  1. From verses 7-8, what did Christ do on earth that enabled him to serve as our great High Priest?  To what event/nite of Christ’s life do you believe vs. 7 refers? (extra credit: what was His central struggle that nite? How can that encourage us?)

 

  1. What is your understanding of vs. 8? Take a dictionary and look up the words “perfect” and “mature,” as these words are often used synonymously in Scripture.
  2. Now note their meaning in  the following verses:  II Cor 13:9, Eph 4:13, Heb 6:1.
