1. Hebrews A Study In The Book Of

2. A New Direction Lead in –The Hebrew writer made the bold assertion in 2:17 that Jesus was a high priest –On what grounds could he say Jesus was a high priest? Was this something pulled out of thin air? Was it just a baseless unsubstantiated claim? All Jewish priests were to come from the tribe of Levi But therein lied the problem, Jesus was from the tribe of Judah –Answer = Ps. 110:4 “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek”

3. “They sing in heaven a new song, Of Moses and the Lamb”

4. The New Song Heb. 8:1-6 –There was a pattern given by God –God spoke to Moses on Mt. Sinai and told him how to build the tabernacle Nothing was there by chance! Nothing was there by accident! God gave the dimensions for the tabernacle, he told him what materials they were to use, and in what order all these things were to be placed in –Did you ever realize the bulk of the Book of Exodus concerns the tabernacle? Ex. 25-40!!! Here, in Heb. 8, we begin to see why God wanted it built this way!

5. The New Song Heb. 8:7-13 –Jer. 31 –Jeremiah in his day (~600 B.C.) was saying the Old Law would be retired soon Jeremiah said a New Covenant was promised and Jesus brought in that New Covenant at the cross –8:10-12, what’s the point? A little baby in the Jewish kingdom could not have the law of God in his mind and heart In Christ’s kingdom it is different! The only babe admitted is a “babe in Christ”

6. The New Song Heb. 9:1-10

7. The New Song Heb. 9:1-10 –The Old Law was tied up with copies and shadows! –Example: Numbers 21 & the brass serpent (Cf. Jn. 3:14)

8. Mind of God Moses at Sinai Implemented by people

9. Copies and Shadows of the Heavenly Things

10. The Holy of Holies The Holy Place Bronze Laver of Water Altar of Burnt Offering Copies and Shadows of the Heavenly Things

11. Symbolic of Jesus’ Blood Water BaptismThe ChurchHeaven Copies and Shadows of the Heavenly Things

13. Symbolic of Jesus’ Blood Water BaptismThe ChurchHeaven Copies and Shadows of the Heavenly Things Heb. 9:19-25 1 Pet. 2:4-5 Heb. 4:14 Heb. 6:19-20 Heb. 9:24-28 Heb. 10:22 Eph. 5:25-27 1 Pet. 3:21 Heb. 9:11-12 Heb. 10:1-13

14. The New Song Heb. 9:11-15 –1) Those who claim that Christ failed in his mission (Premillenialists) are wrong He successfully set up the tabernacle made without hands! Premillenialists are looking for something made with hands! –2) The writer talks about how the blood of Christ cleanses the conscience According to Peter (1 Pet. 3:21) water baptism does the same!

15. Remits sins (Mt. 26:28) Washes away sins ( Rev. 1:5 ) Leads to a clean conscience (Heb. 9:14) Saves (Eph. 1:7) Remits sins (Acts 2:38) Washes away sins ( Acts 22:16 ) Leads to a clean conscience (1 Pet. 3:21 ) Saves (Mk. 16:16) The Blood of Christ The Waters of Baptism Contacting the Blood of Christ in the Waters of Baptism

16. The New Song Heb. 9:16-17 –This answers those who claim we can be saved like the thief on the cross (Truth be told, I don’t know of anyone who really wants to be saved like the thief on the cross) It’s possible the thief was baptized, after all he knew something about the kingdom! But even if he weren’t baptized it is immaterial! –He didn’t have to be baptized for the same reason David, Moses, and Adam didn’t have to be baptized. –He lived under a different law!

17. The New Song Heb. 9:23-28 –The effectiveness of the blood of Christ vs. the ineffectiveness of the blood of animals!

18. The Presence of God The VeilThe High Priest

19. The Presence of God The VeilThe High Priest

20. The Presence of God The VeilThe High Priest

21. The New Song Heb. 10:1-14 –This explains the incarnation: “God was manifested in the flesh” We don’t have to invent some strange doctrine to explain it! Any view that suggests Jesus had two different spirits/personalities (a human one + a divine one) is wrong Any view that suggests Jesus was merely a ghost is wrong Any view that suggests Jesus did not become God until later in his ministry is wrong

22. F S Heb. 10:5 “A body You have prepared for Me.” HS

23. F S Gal. 4:4 “born of a woman” HS

24. S F Acts 10:38 “he went about doing good” HS

27. F S Acts 13:33 “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You ” HS

28. “They sing in heaven a new song, Of Moses and the Lamb”

29. The New Song The greatest joy that I have ever known, Is praising Him in song I know someday when I have older grown, My voice will not be strong But if good seed for Jesus I have sown, With angels I’ll belong They sing in heaven a new song, Of Moses and the Lamb

30. Will Heaven Be Your Home? Believe the Gospel (Mk. 16:16) Repent of sin (Acts 2:38) Confess Jesus (Acts 8:36-39) Be Baptized (Acts 22:16) Remain Faithful unto Death (Rev. 2:10)
