HEBREWS CHAPTER FIVE VERSES 11-14 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 5:11   Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.  Heb 5:12   For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.  Heb 5:13   For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.  Heb 5:14   But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.  Main Point: You are like babies and should be more mature! 4. What does “dull of hearing” mean? Ultimately it means lazy. It contains the thought of non-active hearing. It does not provoke the “listener” to action. The gospel is God’s ...

HEBREWS CHAPTER FIVE vs. 1-10 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 5:1   For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:  Heb 5:2   Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.  Heb 5:3   And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.  Heb 5:4   And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.  Heb 5:5   So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.  Heb 5:6   As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.  Heb 5:7   Who in the days of his flesh, whe...

HEBREWS CHAPTER FOUR VS. 14-16 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 4:14   Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.  Heb 4:15   For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.  Heb 4:16   Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.  Main Point: A continuing thought from chapter two. Jesus knows our every need intimately and gives us an avenue to God’s grace/mercy. 6. According to this passage, what makes our High Priest better than the Levitical priesthood?   “He passed through (into) the heavens”. This is also a continuation of thought that Jesus sits at the right hand of God (chapter 1). If our high pries...

HEBREWS CHAPTER FOUR VS. 1-13 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 4:1   Let us therefore fear , lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it .  2   For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3   For we which have believed do enter into rest , as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.  4   For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.     5   And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.  6   Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered no t in because of u...

HEBREWS CHAPTER THREE VS. 14-19 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 3:14   For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;  Heb 3:15   While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.  Heb 3:16   For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.  Heb 3:17   But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?  Heb 3:18   And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?  Heb 3:19   So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.  3:14-19    Main Point: This is an extension of the warning “how will you escape” (judgment). Their unbelief in Jesus will result in rejection of them ...
