Christ As Priest on earth, Now in Heaven Pleading Our Cause

Hebrews 4:12-14, Read, The word of God is Quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the diving asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and it judges the thoughts and attitudes of of the hearts. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight, everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give an account. Jesus is fully Human, Hebrews 2:6b, Read, What is Man that thou art mindful of Him; Thou has made Him [Jesus] a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor, and put everything under His feet. Genesis 3:15, When Adam and Eve Sinned, God Said to the serpent, I will  put enmity between thee and the Woman, and between thy seed and her seed.[ This is the first prediction of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. the devil's off spring are those who do not follow Christ.The fulfillment came during the hour of darkness: When our Lord was arrested and crucified. Luke 23:44, It was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. When God deal with our sin, and Jesus our Savior Commend His Spirit into God's Hand.       Hebrews 2:14, Since the Children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death; that is the devil, and free those who all their life time were held in slavery by their fear of death.

Hebrews 4:14-16 Read, Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that is past into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we do not have a High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet with out Sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with Confidence, So that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.[ Jesus perfect Obedience to the Father. Matthew 26: 39, Said, Jesus Prayed, O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup passed from me: nevertheless not as I will but as thou wilt. Philippians 4:19, Reads, But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.[The privileges that we have under the Gospel of Christ, are far greater, than what was under the Law; which was given by God through Moses. In the Old Testament. Though it will be a painful Consequence if any person neglect  God's Word; After  they heard it explained. There will be no Excuse an that day. Those who do not believe in Jesus, will not enter in to God's Heaven.] We come to God with Reverence, and godly fear, yet with Boldness.

Hebrews 4: Jesus is both God and Man, He is the Exalted and eternal God. the Full Expression of God. You can see His handy work, in Creation, He Sustain all things by the power of His words.Christ Suffered on atoning death on the Cross: He Rose again went back to heaven, Where He intercedes for us. The word of God Convinces, Comforts and make our soul glad. Let us hold fast the Christian faith, and the principles in our hearts, Romans 8:3 Read, For what the Law could not do in that it was weak, through the flesh, God Sending His Own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for Sin, Condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Ephesians 2:8, said, For by grace we are saved through faith; and that not of ourselves it is the gift of God. Isaiah 53:3, Speaking of Jesus, He is despised and Rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised and we esteemed Him not; 1Peter 1:23, Been Born again, not of Corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever.                            

             

A Sabbath Rest For The People Of God, And Rest From Labor

Hebrews 4:1- Therefore, Since the promise of entering His rest still stand, let us be careful that none of you be found to have falling short of it. [How can a person fall short of God promise? By failing to believe His word, and obey His Command] For We also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; But the massage they heard was of no value to them. Because, those who heard   did not Combine it with faith. Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God said, So I declared, they Shall never enter My rest. It still remain that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in because of their disobedience.Therefore God again set a day, Saying, To day if you will hear His Voice, do not harden your hearts.[ Hebrews 3:15,] The Heavenly rest is for believers when they die; and go to be with Jesus in Heaven, and enjoy the end of their faith.
Jesus Will come again and received Those who believe on Him, and accepted Him by faith.
   
There was a rest when God finished His work and then rested from it. The purpose of the  Sabbath day  rest in, Genesis 2:3 Said, And God blessed the Seventh day, and sanctified it: Because that in it He had rested from all His work which God Created and made. Exodus 20:8, Said, Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy.[ As a sign of the Covenant, as well to used it for their own benefit, especially rest, and worship.It was designed to also Symbolize the rest that God desired for His people, and to point forward to an eternal rest in God.[ Mark 2:27-28, Jesus said to them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath: Therefore the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath. The Pharisees and other Religious leaders, try to fill the day with rules that GOD did not intended: So when Jesus came, Who is Lord of the Sabbath, He often did things to restored the Sabbath to its proper used. The out pouring of the Holy Spirit, in Acts, The Resurrection of our Lord, and the day that the disciples Worshiped. Christians worship on Sundays. The Sabbath day was not given to Christians, but to the Jewish people, When Jesus Came, He kept the Sabbath. But was often accused by the Pharisees of breaking the Sabbath. But Jesus only did good work at all time.      

Human beings need rest to be refreshed: Jesus disciples had to take the time to get away from the pressures of their daily tasks to rest. Jesus Himself rested He took time to Sleep, to be by Himself, to pray,  with His Father; with His disciples, with the woman at the well.  we also need time away from work, and other task, to refresh ourselves for physical and and spiritual rest and peace of mind. that can only be found in Our Lord Jesus Christ Who is our  hope, our help and Lasting Peace. Mark 6:31, Genesis 18:3-5,]  God have always kept His word, we can depend on Him. His word is true.
The Rest where Joshua led the Jews. This rest is a rest of grace and Comfort. Christians Should fix Their eyes on the examples of Jesus the author and finisher of of our faith.                  

    

Christ the Messiah, Anointed High Priest and Apostle sent by God to men

Christ is to be considered as the Apostle of our profession, and Messenger sent by God to man, He is the great Revealer of the faith which we profess to hold, and of the hope which we profess to have.  Christ the Messiah, anointed for the office both of Apostle and High Priest. Jesus our Saviour, Healer,  the great Physician of our soul. Hebrews 3:1 Therefore  holy brethren, who share in the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to Him [God] that appointed Him, as also Moses was faithful in all his [God's] house. For this Man [Jesus] was counted worthy of more glory than Moses.] Consider Christ, Who He is.? and what does He mean to you? Christ is the Master of His house the Church, He made the house, Moses was a type, of Christ, and was faithful to his calling as God Servant. Jesus is God He is equal with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus is both God and Man, He is God faithful Son.

Hebrews 3:7 Therefore as the Holy Spirit Says: To day if you will hear His voice, Do not  harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested Me, and saw My works forty years. Today if you will hear His voice; Do not harden your hearts.[ God waits long to be gracious to His people, But Sin cloud our eyes which prevented us from seen what God has done for His people and His Church. When we Persisted in sin, we can except God's wrath. So [take heed, brethren, less there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. We see that they could not enter into His rest because of unbelief. So trust God and be Numbered with the true believers, who are on their way to Gods Heaven. You can be partakers of Christ, and His Complete Salvation. According to the power of God through grace.by faith in Jesus.              ]                 

All that we need to obtain Salvation is found in Jesus

Hebrews 2:1-6,Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest we drift away, for if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgressions and disobedience received a just reward; How shall we escape if we neglect so great a Salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord. And was Confirmed to us by those who heard, Him. [Jesus]  God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with various Miracles, and gifts of the holy Spirit, according to His own will.[Because Christ have to die for human, He put on human flesh, and took on human Nature, so that He could die on the cross for our sin. He did not died for angels; So He did not took on angels Nature. For Christ to endured Suffering on earth, died buried, and Rose again to free us from Sin, and bring us back to God, He has to be a Holy perfect Leader, Who walked before God on this earth with perfect Obedience. In all His Sufferings, and temptations, He remain Sinless. So He is able to provide Strength, and encouragement to those who need it.

Hebrews 2:7-10, [God] You have made Him [Christ] a little lower than the angels; you have crowned Him with glory and honor, and set Him over the works of your hands: You have put all things in subjection  under His feet. He [God] left nothing that was not put under Him. [Jesus] But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the Suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying: I will declare your name to My brethren; Therefore, in all things, He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.   For in that He Himself has Suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.            
          

Jesus of Nazareth, Exalted Son of God in the flesh,

Hebrews 1:1-6 God at various times, and in various way spoke in time past to the father's by the prophets, has in these last days Spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things.  Thought whom also He made the world; Who being the brightness of His Glory, and the express image of His person, up holding all things by the word of His power, when He by Himself purge our Sins, Sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent Name than they. For unto which of the angels said He at any time, thou art My Son, This day have I begotten thee? [none] And again I will be to him a Father, and he will be to Me a Son? And again when He brings His first begotten into the world He said, and let all the angels of God worship Him. And of the angels He said, Who made His  angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son He said, Thy Throne O God is for ever and ever: a Sceptre of righteousness is the Sceptre of thy Kingdom.

The book of Hebrews show Superiority of Jesus as the Son of God. Better than angels, better than Moses, His authority surpassed all the prophets, or any Leaders, past, present, or futures.  Salvation is by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ a lone. Christ is the end of the Law, it was given as a guide in the old Testament, to the Jewish people to lead them to Christ. Now that Christ came and fulfilled all the requirements of the Law, the mighty power of the Lord Jesus Christ is Now declared, both In creating the world and in changing it. Also shows that God is in charged. Psalm 102:25-27 Said, of Old has thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.] In Christ we are united. The gospel is a revelation which God has made by His Son.] John 14:6-7 Which said, I Am the way, the truth and the Life: No man comes to the Father but by Me. If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.[ the fullness of the Godhead dwell in Jesus, When Adam and Eve Sinned, The world fall under the curse of God worth. Jesus the Son of God, Undertaking the work of Redemption as our Substitute for sin.  

As Sinners under the fall of Adam Transgression, when we put our trust in Jesus, and call on His Name, and ask Jesus to Save us by faith, we are a shored  that by His grace we are Saved. All that we need to be saved is in Jesus. God want us to grow, Though difficult times. When we reflect on His goodness, Love and mercy towards us, we just have to keep on praising Him. Jesus is God, who became a man. His authority Surpassed Any prophet, are angels, Jesus brought us into favor with God. Romans 6;5-11, Said, For if we have been united to gather in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection: knowing this that our old man is crucified, with Him,  that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Christ the exalted Messiah in human nature, in whom angels, authorities, and powers, are made subject to Christ. Who Stand Supreme.         


         

From the gift of the Holy Spirit, Peter preach unto them Jesus

Acts 2:1- When the day of Pentecost came, they [the twelve disciples including Mathias Act 1:26] were all in one place. And Suddenly there came, A Rushing Mighty Wind came with great force, and It filled all the house where they were sitting. And they were all filled with Holy Ghost, and began to Speak with Other Tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. [ This was to Signify the powerful influences and working of the Spirit of God upon the mind of men. According to John the baptists, Concerning the Lord Jesus Christ; He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. It was all in God's plan To Spread The Gospel of Salvation to the whole World. Jesus gave this plan to His disciples; before He went back to heaven. In Old Testament times, the Holy Spirit came upon each person, at times, but did not remain permanently. After Christ went back to heaven, They were to weight for that Spacial  moment for the amazing out pouring of the Holy Spirit, which was fulfilled at Pentecost.Joel 2:God promise to pour out His Spirit on all flesh, The Spirit Now lives in us, as His believing  Children, He is Our Constant Companion. To God be the glory, all praise to our God.

There were many Nations,  gathered there no one was left out. The gospel must be Spread all over all the earth. And when the Sound occurred, the multitude came to gather, but they were Confused because, everyone heard them Speak in their own Language. They said Look, are not all these who Speak  Galileans? Acts 2:8- And how is it that we hear, Each in Our Own Language. Parthians, Medes and Elamites, those in Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, Phryhia, Pamphylia, Eygpt,  Libya, Cyrene, visitors from Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretans, and Arabs, Every one was amazed and perplexed Saying, What could this mean? Others Mocking said, they are filled with new wine.  But Peter, Standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said, ye men of Judaea, and all that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words. These are not drunk, as you Suppose, But This is what was spoken by the Prophet Joel: God Spirit will be poured out on the earth. And they that call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.[ God can change your life through the power of the Holy Spirit. No matter where in the world you are. Because of the Blood of the Lamb. Those whom God willed to be saved, will be brought to Christ.

Then peter said to him, Silver and gold I have none; But such as I have I give it to thee:   In the Name Of Jesus Christ Of Nazareth, Rise up and walk. And Immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he Leaping up stood, and walked, and entered in the Temple, walking,   And Leaping and praising God.

He saw a man whose name was Aeneas, he was paralyzed, and bedridden for eight years, Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise make your bed, and he rose immediately. [Peter does not pretend to heal the lame man by his own power, but directs Aeneas to look to the Lord Jesus Christ for help. And all who saw him turn to the Lord. When we were without strength, Christ died for us, He heals all our diseases, and by His grace saves us from our sins: And guide us each day as we walk with Him. 

Acts 9:36, In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation, is called Dorcas:  This woman was full of good works, she was sick, and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room. Lydda was near Joppa; So when the disciples heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him to come to them. Peter went to them, and when he arrived he was  taken upstairs to the room. All the widows Stood around him, crying and showing him the Robes  and other clothing that Dorcas had made for them while she was still a live. Peter sent them all out of the room; Then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman he said, Tabitha,  get up, She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up. He took her by the hand and help her to her feet. Peter then called the believers and widows presented her to them. [The Lord can make up every loss; that He overrules for the good of those who trust in Him, and for His glory.
