The Point in Writing a Letter

 

  • The Point is…
  • What Sort of High Priest Do We Have?
  • What Difference Does This High Priest Make?  

Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:

  1. Read Hebrews 8:1-7 and 10:32-36. What do we know about the recipients of this letter? Why does the author write the letter?
  2. What does the author emphasize when he says “we have such a high priest” (v. 1)? Review some of the highlights from Hebrews. What do we know about our high priest?
  3. What difference does having such a high priest make in your life?
  4. Review the commands we have heard so far in Hebrews (2:1, 3:1, 3:12, 4:11, 4:14 & 16, & 6:1). How do these commands help us understand the recipients of the letter? How do these commands minister to them? To you? 

 Memory Verse of the Week:

Hebrews 4:14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. (ESV)
