Hebrews is written to Jewish Christians who were undergoing persecution for their faith and considering running back to Judaism. The author of Hebrews takes an in-depth look at the practices and regulations of the Old Testament as articulated in the Torah and argues for how Jesus is both superior to each of them and supreme over all of them! The author also warns his audience of the grave danger facing them should they choose to now reject Jesus and return to their former way of life. These warnings can and should make us feel uncomfortable as we read through the book together; allow the Spirit to do what He wants to do in your heart through them! Overall, the message of Hebrews is that Jesus, the Son of God as well as our Savior and Messiah, is infinitely superior to anything or anyone else we could give our lives to, and He is worthy of all our devotion and worship. Jesus is greater!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this chapter the contrast between the Old Covenant priesthood and Jesus\u2019 priesthood continues. The author describes in detail the ministry of the Levitical priests and their proximity to God, and then goes on to explain how Jesus, as our superior high priest, has gone before us and paved the way for us to have direct access to God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the Old Covenant the priests were limited to the Holy Place, outside the presence of God in the Most Holy Place. Only the high priest was able to enter the Most Holy Place, and he only did so once a year on the Day of Atonement after having his own sins atoned for by sacrifice. There was no direct access to God, and all the sacrifices they performed, while they temporarily atoned for the peoples\u2019 sins, did nothing to transform their hearts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus\u2019 ministry as high priest is totally different:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>While the Levitical priests served in the earthly temple, Jesus ministers in the actual presence of God, of which the earthly temple is merely a shadow<\/li><li>The Levitical priests had to offer sacrifices to atone for their own sin; Jesus offered Himself, a holy and spotless sacrifice, for the sins of His people!<\/li><li>The atonement the Levitical priesthood achieved was temporary, repeated and did nothing to change the peoples\u2019 hearts; the redemption accomplished by Jesus\u2019 sacrifice is eternal, once for all, and purifies us from the inside out!<\/li><li>The Levitical priests were the only ones who could come into God\u2019s presence; Jesus, as our great high priest, has made a way for all of His people to have direct access to the very presence of God Almighty!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What Jesus has done is so much greater than anything and everything which came before Him, and nothing can ever take away from what He has accomplished through His blood and His resurrection! All of this leads us to worship Him and to look to Him to return, when He will \u201csave those who are eagerly waiting for him.\u201d (v.28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container ugb-28e9c44 ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-basic ugb-main-block\" id=\"\"><style>.ugb-28e9c44-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper{border-radius:12px !important;background-color:#f1f1f1 !important}.ugb-28e9c44-content-wrapper.ugb-container__content-wrapper{width:100% !important}.ugb-28e9c44-wrapper.ugb-container__wrapper:before{background-color:#f1f1f1 !important}.ugb-28e9c44-content-wrapper > h1,.ugb-28e9c44-content-wrapper > h2,.ugb-28e9c44-content-wrapper > h3,.ugb-28e9c44-content-wrapper > h4,.ugb-28e9c44-content-wrapper > h5,.ugb-28e9c44-content-wrapper > h6{color:#222222}.ugb-28e9c44-content-wrapper > p,.ugb-28e9c44-content-wrapper > ol li,.ugb-28e9c44-content-wrapper > ul li{color:#222222}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-container__wrapper ugb-28e9c44-wrapper ugb--shadow-3\"><div class=\"ugb-container__side\"><div class=\"ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-28e9c44-content-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hebrews 9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Earthly Holy Place<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9\u00a0<\/strong>Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and\u00a0an earthly place of holiness.\u00a0<sup>2\u00a0<\/sup>For\u00a0a tent\u00a0was prepared, the first section, in which were\u00a0the lampstand and\u00a0the table and\u00a0the bread of the Presence.\u00a0It is called the Holy Place.\u00a0<sup>3\u00a0<\/sup>Behind\u00a0the second curtain was a second sectioncalled the Most Holy Place,\u00a0<sup>4\u00a0<\/sup>having the golden\u00a0altar of incense and\u00a0the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was\u00a0a golden urn holding the manna, and\u00a0Aaron&#8217;s staff that budded, and\u00a0the tablets of the covenant.\u00a0<sup>5\u00a0<\/sup>Above it were\u00a0the cherubim of glory overshadowing\u00a0the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>6\u00a0<\/sup>These preparations having thus been made,\u00a0the priests go regularly into the first section, performing their ritual duties,\u00a0<sup>7\u00a0<\/sup>but into the second only\u00a0the high priest goes, and he but\u00a0once a year, and not without taking blood,\u00a0which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people.\u00a0<sup>8\u00a0<\/sup>By this the Holy Spirit indicates that\u00a0the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing\u00a0<sup>9\u00a0<\/sup>(which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered\u00a0that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,\u00a0<sup>10\u00a0<\/sup>but deal only with\u00a0food and drink and\u00a0various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Redemption Through the Blood of Christ<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>11\u00a0<\/sup>But when Christ appeared as a high priest\u00a0of the good things that have come,\u00a0then through\u00a0the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)\u00a0<sup>12\u00a0<\/sup>he\u00a0entered\u00a0once for all into the holy places, not by means of\u00a0the blood of goats and calves but\u00a0by means of his own blood,\u00a0thus securing an eternal redemption.\u00a0<sup>13\u00a0<\/sup>For if\u00a0the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with\u00a0the ashes of a heifer, sanctify\u00a0for the purification of the flesh,\u00a0<sup>14\u00a0<\/sup>how much more will\u00a0the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit\u00a0offered himself without blemish to God,\u00a0purify our\u00a0conscience\u00a0from dead works\u00a0to serve the living God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>15\u00a0<\/sup>Therefore he is\u00a0the mediator of a new covenant, so that\u00a0those who are called may\u00a0receive the promised eternal inheritance,\u00a0since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.\u00a0<sup>16\u00a0<\/sup>For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.\u00a0<sup>17\u00a0<\/sup>For\u00a0a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.\u00a0<sup>18\u00a0<\/sup>Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated\u00a0without blood.\u00a0<sup>19\u00a0<\/sup>For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took\u00a0the blood of calves and goats,\u00a0with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,\u00a0<sup>20\u00a0<\/sup>saying,\u00a0\u201cThis is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.\u201d\u00a0<sup>21\u00a0<\/sup>And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both\u00a0the tent and all the vessels used in worship.\u00a0<sup>22\u00a0<\/sup>Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and\u00a0without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>23&nbsp;<\/sup>Thus it was necessary for&nbsp;the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.&nbsp;<sup>24&nbsp;<\/sup>For Christ has entered, not into holy places&nbsp;made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God&nbsp;on our behalf.&nbsp;<sup>25&nbsp;<\/sup>Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as&nbsp;the high priest enters&nbsp;the holy places every year with blood not his own,<sup>26&nbsp;<\/sup>for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is,&nbsp;he has appeared&nbsp;once for all&nbsp;at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.&nbsp;<sup>27&nbsp;<\/sup>And just as&nbsp;it is appointed for man to die once, and&nbsp;after that comes judgment,&nbsp;<sup>28&nbsp;<\/sup>so Christ, having been offered once&nbsp;to bear the sins of&nbsp;many, will appear&nbsp;a second time,&nbsp;not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly&nbsp;waiting for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#ededed\" class=\"has-background\">The Holy Bible, English Standard Version\u00ae (ESV\u00ae), copyright \u00a9 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-divider ugb-divider ugb-683cc07 ugb-divider--v2 ugb-divider--design-basic ugb-main-block\" id=\"\"><style>.ugb-683cc07 hr.ugb-divider__hr{background-color:#dddddd !important;height:1px !important;width:50% !important;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important}.ugb-683cc07 .ugb-inner-block{text-align:center}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><hr class=\"ugb-divider__hr\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Family Discussion Question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Which of the ways that Jesus\u2019 ministry is greater than that of the Levitical priests resonates most with your heart today?
