Christ the High Priest and Savior

Every week the Church of God gathers to worship our Creator, our Friend and Master, our High Priest and Savior.  And each week it is important for the Church to be reminded of the unspeakable gift the Father has given his people through his Son, Jesus Christ.  J.C. Ryle, a pastor in England in the late 1800s spoke of this great gift in this way:

“Who can estimate the value of God's gift, when He gave to the world His only begotten Son! It is something unspeakable and incomprehensible. It passes man's understanding. Two things there are which man has no arithmetic to reckon, and no line to measure. One of these things is the extent of that man's loss who loses his own soul. The other is the extent of God's gift when he gave Christ to sinners...Sin must indeed be exceeding sinful, when the Father must give His only Son to be the sinner's Friend!” (J.C. Ryle, Foundations of Faith)

Join us this week as we look into Hebrews 2:10-18 and what it means that Christ is our High Priest and Savior.  Why do we need a High Priest?  How did Christ fulfill his role as High Priest?  What does it mean that Christ is our Savior?  How great is our sin that God himself must be sacrificed to pay the price?

Be prayerfully prepared to meet God as we study his Word and Truth this Sunday morning.  And be prepared for the Holy Spirit to move in us through the Truth of his Son, our High Priest and Savior.
