Segment 30: Our Great High Priest
Presenter: William L. Lane
Hebrews takes the form of a sermon, a “word of exhortation.”
Hebrews is an insistent call to listen to the word that God has spoken. It
was prepared for a specific local congregation whose members had
become weary with the constant struggle they faced as Christians.
The pastor urged them to fix their gaze on Jesus so they would not
grow weary. The people of the new covenant were consecrated to the
service of God through Jesus’ sacrificial death. Consecration to God
implies committed discipleship. The task of the disciple is to emulate
Jesus, who faithfully did the will of God, regardless of the cost.
