THE SPIRIT LETTERS

Message 55 - Book 5

As clarified and expained by the writer to the Hebrews, speaking of Jesus Christ the Son of GOD:

“Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things He suffered: and being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him. Called of GOD an high priest after the order of Melchizedek. Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered seeing you are dull of hearing. For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of GOD; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to those who are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” (Heb. 5:8-14, and Compare Heb. 8:22-28)

Unlike the repeated sacrifices of animals, “Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.(Heb. 9: 28).

“By so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant. Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens, who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.” (Heb. 7:22-28)
