Every preacher knows that they have to answer the question ‘so what’ — what relevance do these truths have to do with my life? The author of Hebrews is no exception, and in this passage we turn to how the teaching about Jesus’ sacrifice and ministry as high priest should make a difference to us. He focusses on drawing near to God, persevering despite sin and persecution, and the importance of meeting together.You can find a free copy of John Owen’s book On the Mortification of Sin here (modernised edition).Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication.

Why did God give the Law, and why did God send Jesus? We can’t understand how Jesus fulfils the old covenant unless we understand what God wants from us in the first place. The answer is summed up in one word - holiness. In this sermon we think about holiness and how Jesus is the fulfilment of everything that God promised for us.Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication.

Is the Old Testament obsolete? Some people seem to think so! This passage helps us to understand the purpose of the Old Testament system of sacrifices and priests, and how we should understand it now as Christians.

There are many things in life we need, and even more things we might think we need! But the truth is that only Christ can truly meet our needs.

Some people just assume that Christians will grow, no matter what. But this passage from Hebrews warns us that spiritual growth is not a given, and warns us that it is in fact possible to go in the wrong direction. There is a solemn warning that those who fall away cannot be brought back to repentance. This should be an encouragement to us to keep going, no matter what.Links mentioned in the sermon:J.C.
