CHAPTER 5

Every

high priest

is appointed

from among

men

to represent

them

in matters

relating to

God,

to

offer

gifts

and

sacrifices

for

sins.

He is able

to deal gently

with those who

are ignorant

and

misguided,

since

he himself

is beset by

weakness.

That is why

he is obligated

to offer sacrifices

for

his own

sins,

as well as

for the sins of

the

people.

No

one

takes

this

honor

upon himself;

he must be called

by

God,

just as

Aaron

was.

So

also

Christ

did not take upon Himself the glory

of becoming

a high priest,

but He was called

by the One who

said

to

Him:

“You

are

My

Son;

today

I

have become Your Father.”

And

in

another passage

God says:

“You are

a priest

forever

in

the

order

of Melchizedek.”

During

the

days

of

Jesus’

earthly life,

He offered up

prayers

and

petitions

with

loud

cries

and

tears

to

the One who

could

save

Him

from

death,

and

He was heard

because of

His

reverence.

Although

He was

a Son,

He learned

obedience

from

what

He suffered.

And

having been made perfect,

He became

the source

of eternal

salvation

to all

who

obey

Him

and was designated

by

God as

high priest

in

the

order

of Melchizedek.

We have

much

to say

about

this,

but it is

hard to explain,

because

you are

dull

of

hearing.

Although

by

this

time

you ought

to be

teachers,

you

need

someone

to reteach

you

the

basic

principles

of God’s

word.

You need

milk,

not

solid

food!

Everyone

who

lives on

milk

is still

an infant,

inexperienced

in the message

of righteousness.

But

solid

food

is

for the mature,

who

by

constant use

have

trained

their

sensibilities

to

distinguish

good

from

evil.
