- Hebrews 4:14-16 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest
who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold
firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest
who is unable to sympathise with our weaknesses, but we have one
who has been tempted in every way, just as we are yet was without
sin. 16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time
of need. Hebrews 4:14-16
- Slide 3
- Here is love, vast as the ocean, loving kindness as the flood,
when the Prince of life, our ransom, shed for us his precious
blood. Who his love will not remember? Who can cease to sing his
praise? He can never be forgotten throughout heavens eternal
days.
- Slide 4
- On the mount of crucifixion fountains opened deep and wide;
through the floodgates of Gods mercy flowed a vast and gracious
tide. Grace and love, like mighty rivers, poured incessant from
above; and heavens peace and perfect justice kissed a guilty world
in love.
- Slide 5
- Through the years of human darkness, shone the lamp the
prophets trimmed, making known redemptions story, of the love of
God undimmed. Christ for every tongue and nation! All must come
beneath his sway; His the everlasting kingdom that shall never pass
away.
- Slide 6
- When the stars shall fall from heaven, And the sun turn black
as night, When the skies recede and vanish, And the elements
ignite; Then the Son of Man in glory, coming as the Morning Star,
shall return to claim his loved ones, gathered in from near and
far.

- Hebrews 4:14-16 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest
who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold
firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest
who is unable to sympathise with our weaknesses, but we have one
who has been tempted in every way, just as we are yet was without
sin. 16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time
of need. Hebrews 4:14-16
- Slide 28
- 1 Every high priest is selected from among men and is appointed
to represent them in matters related to God, to offer gifts and
sacrifices for sins. 2 He is able to deal gently with those who are
ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to
weakness. 3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own
sins, as well as for the sins of the people. Hebrews 5:1-3
- Slide 29
- 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and
secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 where
Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become
a high priest for ever, in the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews
6:19-20
- Slide 30
- Hebrews 7:24-28 Because Jesus lives for ever, he has a
permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save completely
those who come to God through him, because he always lives to
intercede for them. 26 Such a high priest meets our need- one who
is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the
heavens... The law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but
the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been
made perfect for ever. Hebrews 7:24-28

- What is faith? According to Spurgeon it is simply Looking unto
Jesus (Heb 12:2)
- Slide 47
- Charles Spurgeon: It is ever the Holy Spirits work to turn our
eyes away from self to Jesus; but Satans work is just the opposite
of this, for he is constantly trying to make us regard ourselves
instead of Christ. He insinuates, Your sins are too great for
pardon; you have no faith; you do not repent enough; you will never
be able to continue to the end; you have not the joy of His
children; you have such a wavering hold of Jesus.
- Slide 48
- All these are thoughts about self, and we shall never find
comfort or assurance by looking within. But the Holy Spirit turns
our eyes entirely away from self: He tells us that we are nothing,
but that Christ is all in all. Remember, therefore, it is not thy
holdof Christ that saves theeit is Christ; it is not thy joy in
Christ that saves theeit is Christ; it is not even faith in Christ,
though that be the instrumentit is Christs blood and merits;
- Slide 49
- therefore, look not so much to thy hand with which thou art
grasping Christ, as to Christ; look not to thy hope, but to Jesus,
the source of thy hope; look not to thy faith, but to Jesus, the
author and finisher of thy faith. We shall never find happiness by
looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what
Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul. If we would
at once overcome Satan and have peace with God, it must be by
looking unto Jesus.
- Slide 50
- Keep thine eye simply on Him; let His death, His sufferings,
His merits, His glories, His intercession, be fresh upon thy mind;
when thou wakest in the morning look to Him; when thou liest down
at night look to Him. Oh! let not thy hopes or fears come between
thee and Jesus; follow hard after Him, and He will never fail
thee.
- Slide 51
- My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus blood and
righteousness: I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean
on Jesus name.

- 20 My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who
will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may
be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they
also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be
one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought
to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have
loved them even as you have loved me.
- Slide 54
- 24 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I
am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you
loved me before the creation of the world. 25 Righteous Father,
though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that
you have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will
continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me
may be in them and that I myself may be in them. John 17:20-26

- Slide 57
- 19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the
disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the
Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, Peace be with you!
20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The
disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. John 20:19-23
- Slide 58
- 21 Again Jesus said, Peace be with you! As the Father has sent
me, I am sending you. 22 And with that he breathed on them and
said, Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone his sins,
they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not
forgiven. John 20:19-23 How has the Father sent Jesus? Eternally
its part of who He is!

- 9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy
nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises
of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once
you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1
Peter 2
- Slide 62
- 11 Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the
world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.
12 Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse
you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on
the day he visits us. 1 Peter 2

- Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect
plea, A great high Priest whose Name is Love, Who ever lives and
pleads for me. My name is graven on His hands, My name is written
on His heart. I know that while in heaven He stands No tongue can
bid me thence depart, No tongue can bid me thence depart.
- Slide 70
- When Satan tempts me to despair And tells me of the guilt
within, Upward I look and see Him there Who made an end to all my
sin. Because the sinless Savior died My sinful soul is counted
free, For God, the Just, is satisfied To look on Him and pardon me,
To look on Him and pardon me.
- Slide 71
- Behold Him there, the risen Lamb, My perfect, spotless
righteousness, The great unchangeable I AM, The King of glory and
of grace. One with Himself, I cannot die, My soul is purchased by
His blood. My life is hid with Christ on high, With Christ, my
Savior and my God!
