The Joy in Responsibility

(An In-Depth Study of Hebrews)

Commentary

Obey Him

Hebrews 5:4-10 

Outline 

The main idea in the text comes in verse 9:

Jesus is the source of our eternal salvation.

The surrounding verses put forth Jesus’ credentials…

Honor (vs 4-5)

Appointed by God

Begotten Son

Order (vs 6, 10)

High Priest

Like Melchizedek  (not like Aaron)

Purity (Vs 7-9)

Tested / Proven

Learned Obedience

Made Perfect

 

LIFE APPLICATION:

Obey: The command “obey” doesn’t come with a list of do’s and don’ts. It comes with one imperative; believe!

Take Sin Serious: Like Jesus, pray that sin be put to death in this mortal body.
