What Do We Offer?
Questions Behind the Text
What do Christians sacrifice?
If Christ is our priest, where is he?
If Christ is our priest, how does he “offer gifts and sacrifices” (Hebrews 5:1)?
Answer from the Text: Jesus is the True & Better Priest, Because He Is
Selfless.Slide4
The Selfless Priest
Hebrews
9:11-14
Question: “What does he offer?”
The blood of bulls and goats has never been enough (10:1-4).
Christ offered a better sacrifice – himself.
If a goat’s blood did anything at all, how much more will the Messiah’s blood do?Slide5
The Heavenly Priest
Hebrews
9:23-24
Question: “Where is he now?”
The priest’s purified the altar in the temple. Christ purifies the altar in heaven.
He is not here, because he is there.Slide6
The Finished Priest
Hebrews
9:25-27
Question: “What happens next?”
Nothing!
Hebrews 10:11-14
The priests did not offer repeated sacrifices because they were so effective, but because they weren’t!
“Where is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.” (10:18)Slide7
The Returning King
Hebrews
9:27-28
Question: “So that’s it?”
No. He’s coming back.
He comes back not as selfless priest, but as triumphant king.
“waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet” (10:12)Slide8
We Have an Altar
Final Question: “What do you offer?”
Hebrews 13:10-13
We
have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat.
For
the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp.
So
Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.
Therefore
let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured.
