Subject: Christ our Superior Priest |
Bible Note: The book of Hebrews is about the superiority of Christ. This particular passage shows Christ as the superior high priest. First He is superior because He has been ordained directly by God. Second He is superior because He knows the inadequacies of the people for whom He intercedes. Third He is superior because He is in the order of Melchisedec, a superior line of priests than the sons of Aaron. |
