#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...

Christ’s Eternal Priesthood

1 Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, and not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer. 4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Law; 5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.” 6 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as Law.

7 For if the first had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

8 For finding fault with them, he said, “Look, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.

10 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

11 They will not teach each one his fellow citizen, and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins no more.”

13 In that he says, “new,” he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away. — Hebrews 8 | New Heart English Bible (NHEB) The New Heart English Bible is in the public domain.

No longer will they teach their neighbor,     or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me,     from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness     and will remember their sins no more.

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…

Out With the Old, In With the New

8 For he finds fault with them when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,     when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel     and with the house of Judah, 9 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers     on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant,     and so I showed no…

Jesus Is Better (Hebrews 8:1-7)

There is a sacrifice which ended all sacrifices.

Exodus by Marc Chagall, 1952 Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being. Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have…

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 form 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.

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.

Christ's Unchanging Nature

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.

8 Menachem Av 5784 (11-12 August 2024)

According to tradition, it was on the eighth of Av that the twelve spies sent out to inspect the land of Canaan crossed the Jordan to return to the Israelite camp.

They had spent 40 days scouting the land and carried back fruit to demonstrate the goodness of the land, but also came with horror stories of a land filled with giants. They felt like creeping grasshoppers in comparison to these people with their great cities and lush farms.

The spies’ report to the people on the ninth of Av leads directly to panic and mutiny in the camp. HaShem prevents the mob from stoning Moshe and Aharon, and then decrees that for their mistrust none of them will be able to enter the land. Instead, they’ll wander for another forty years until the generation that grew to adulthood as slaves in Egypt is gone. To the sages of the Talmud this was the first catastrophe to befall the Jewish people on the ninth of Av.

Now, we may wonder about the emphasis of the Torah and especially Sefer Yehoshua on taking the land through conquest and wholesale murder of its existing inhabitants, in light of our grief at the Assyrian, Babylonian, and Roman assaults on our people in the land. Are the figures of Torah to be excused because they were underdogs fleeing slavery and not territory-hungry expansionists? Or does their conviction that HaShem had commanded them to settle this land and eradicate the existing inhabitants overcome other ethical concerns? I am in no hurry to condemn our progenitors, when our societies today are far from free from the guilt of violence. But in Pirkei Avot the great sage Hillel observes that there a certain is poetic justice in a man who drowned others dying by drowning. Is there a similar parallel between those people who were displaced from the land for our ancestors to settle it and our ancestors own displacement generations later? Is there a way out of this cycle of conquest and exile?

Today is the final day before Tisha B’Av. Please hydrate well if you will be fasting beginning at sundown.
