#Hebrews 8

[s-o-a-p-ing]

HEBREWS S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 8

Friday, 8/23/24

SCRIPTURE:

And each person won’t ever teach a neighbor or their brother or sister, saying, “Know the Lord," because they will all know Me, from the least important of them to the most important; because I will be lenient toward their unjust actions, and I won’t remember their sins anymore. ~ Hebrews 8:11-12

OBSERVATION:

They will all know Him...

We - I - won't have to teach by saying...

He - His love and grace and mercy - will be known through our - my - life...

...to all in my life - "from the least... to the more important" (whoever they might be)

He will be lenient toward my unjust actions...

He won't remember my sins anymore...

Because of and through Jesus...

APPLICATION:

Know Him...

Show Him...

Understand my place between the least and most important...

PRAYER:

Father God - please forgive my false humility that allows me to act unjustly as if I am most important, and to brag about my least-ness... and please accept my thanks and gratitude for Your grace and merciful forgiveness given through Your Son... In His Name, and for Your glory and praise...

Enjoy - rest in - the Sabath this weekend...

A Greater Covenant

Hebrews 8.1-13 As the Mediator of a better covenant which has been enacted on better promises, Jesus has a more excellent ministry. And we are the beneficiaries of that ministry. No longer do we have to rely on the copies and shadows because we have the Substance. Jesus fulfills all that the OT foreshadowed, pictured, prophesied and promised. I said it last week, but let me reiterate…we may…

Revelation 18: Come Out, My People

The call of the angel to come out of Babylon echoes similar calls from Israel’s ancient prophets. #Revelation18 #ComeOutMyPeople #FallenisBabylon

Then I heard another voice out of the sky saying, “Come out, my people, out of her, in order that you all will not have fellowship in and partake of her sins, in order that you would not take hold of her wounds. “Because her sins have been following close to her as far as heaven, and the wrongs she has done have been recalled to God. “Render to her as she as she has herself rendered, and…

One of my favorite things about Judaism is that Maimonides writes in his Eight Levels of Tzedakah that anonymous forms of donation are superior to forms of donation where the giver is known to the recipient, which plays in nicely with my desire to avoid the mortifying ordeal of being known.

Watching Alien Covenant and going insane at the religious imagery. There are 13 members of the crew. That picture of them that’s clearly meant to parallel the last supper painting, down to the shawl on the captain’s shoulders. Synthetics as the new angels, far more advanced than humans but bound by inflicted rules. David as a retelling of Lucifer. David kissing Walter before stabbing him. David as a retelling of Judas.

Hebrews 1:8 (NKJV) - But to the Son He says:

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

Notes: That God can be trusted and counted on is a comfort to His people. Knowing He is “the same yesterday and today and forever” reminds us that God was reliable in the past, we can trust Him today, and we can hold fast to the hope that is tomorrow. God has always existed, and He wants us to be part of His kingdom.

New and Improved

1 TNow the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2 a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. 4 Now if he were on earth,…

Hebrews 13:8. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

“The Foundation of Unwavering Faith” By In Touch Ministries:

“Jesus is our anchor for all the storms of life—and He always will be.”

“In our ever-changing world, friendships drift, families move, and technology advances. If we seek security in people, position, or possessions, we’re going to be disappointed. Yet we all need somewhere to turn during the storms of life. The one true anchor for our soul is Jesus, who never changes. To find comfort in Him, we must learn who He is and how He works. Today we will explore a few details about His life and character.

John 1:1 reveals that Jesus was Deity from the beginning. Fully God and fully man, He was born of a virgin, lived 33 years on earth, was crucified despite His innocence, and rose after three days. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—the Christ, the Son of the living God (John 14:6; Matthew 16:16). Our Lord fulfilled innumerable Old Testament prophecies, such as Isaiah 53. Like us, Jesus has feelings—He wept for hurting people and felt angry when people misused the temple. Most importantly, His resurrection defeated death, and He still lives today.

The merciful, loving, compassionate, and holy Jesus we know from Scripture is the same Messiah we can cling to today. Difficult circumstances are inevitable. Prepare yourself for them by learning who Jesus is—He’s the only true Shelter and Rock that will not change. What a wonderful Savior!”

Line Upon Line Lesson 069: Why the Old Covenant Failed

Exodus 19:8 - Then all the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the people to the Lord.

There are many Christians today who claim they are “new covenant Christians.”  They often claim the old covenant, which included the Ten Commandments,  was done away with.  They also claim the new covenant replaced the Ten Commandments with two simpler rules of love: love God and love your neighbor.  These same Christians also believe the fourth commandment of keeping the seventh-day Sabbath  no longer applies to them.  Instead, they keep Sunday in honor of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Are these claims true? What exactly are the old and new covenants? What was the difference between the two?

Let’s read together Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Hebrews 8:6-13. 

We learn from these verses that the old covenant was the covenant the children of Israel made with God at Mount Sinai. 

Let’s read together Luke 22:20; Galatians 4:21-31; and Hebrews 9:16.

The new covenant was established by Jesus Christ.  It came into effect and was ratified by His sacrifice at the cross.

Let’s read together Exodus 19:8; Exodus 20:12; Hebrews 8:6; and James 2:12.

The Bible tells us the new covenant was established on better promises.  Note that the old covenant did not fail because of anything on God’s part.  The Ten Commandments are perfect and contain good promises. 

The old covenant failed because the people did not do all that God had spoken to them to do.  Essentially, the people did not hold up their end of the contract.

God’s terms in the old and new covenant are the same - obedience to His commandments. Jesus promises to empower us to obey God’s word in the new covenant.  

Friend, are you a new covenant Christian?
