Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if …

The Author of Eternal Salvation
So also Christ glorified not Himself to be made an High Priest; but He that said unto him, "Thou art My Son, to day have I begotten Thee." As He saith also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." Who in the days of his flesh, when He had …
Our Great High Priest
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. …
One Greater than Moses
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to Him that appointed Him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this Man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath …
We Ought to Give the More Earnest Heed to the Things We Have Heard
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; …

Go forth… Unto Him
We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered without the gate. …
One Sacrifice for Sin; One Sanctification
By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: but this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth …
The Only Priest We Need
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: …
Day Eighty Seven – The Best High Priest
When I began doing this 90 days of reading through the Bible my thinking on these posts were not to write commentaries on what I had read, but that is probably what they are. They are more my thoughts on what I have read, and certainly not verbally inspired as the Scriptures are. I had …
Day Eighty Six – The Brethren and The Priesthood
The Scheduled reading today is 1 Timothy 4 through Hebrews 2; I read 2 Timothy 1 through Hebrews 5. A wonderful reading. I read of Timothy faithful pastor at Ephesus, and Titus a faithful Christian pastor on the Isle of Crete (1:5), and his ministry to the people. Paul’s call to Titus for the appointing …

Day Thirty Three – Look Again
Our reading today is Nehemiah 11 - Esther 10. The commentary this morning will deal solely with Esther. Esther is a book of the Bible that never names the name of God. God is not even mentioned in person; however the work, power and presence of God is clearly seen by those who have the …
Assembling Together
"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh; and an High Priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, …
The Perfect Son of God
"For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: for those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by Him that said unto Him, ‘The Lord sware …
More Glory Than Moses
"Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to Him that appointed Him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this Man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath …
Do You Refuse Him Who Speaks with the Voice That Shakes the Earth? – Hebrews 12:25-29
"See that ye refuse not Him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused Him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from Him that speaketh from heaven: whose voice then shook the earth: but now He hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth …
