The Church and its Minister
I. All sinners have a problem with submitting to authority.
A. “...sin is the transgression of the law” (1JO 3:4).
B. law: A rule of conduct imposed by authority.
C. For someone to say that he has no problem with authority is to say that he has no sin,
which is self-deception and in effect charges God with lying. 1JO 1:8, 10.
D. Honesty and sincerity demand that we admit that we have a natural reluctance to submit
to godly authority because it gets in the way of our sins, our liberties, our plans and our
pride.

The Day of Atonement
Leviticus 16
I. Though a daily sacrifice was made for sin under the Law (HEB 7:27; 10:11), God ordained an
annual day of atonement for Israel. LEV 16:29-34.
A. Unlike the other sacrifices, this was to be done only by the high priest once each year in the
holiest place of the tabernacle (where the ark and God's presence dwelt). HEB 9:6-7.
B. As the high priest alone made an atonement in the holy place, Christ BY HIMSELF
purged our sins. HEB 1:3; 1PE 2:24.
C. The Levitical high priest had to make this atonement once each year whereas our High

The Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ
I. The importance of understanding the Sonship of Christ is not to be trivialized. God is known
through His Son (MAT 11:27; 1JO 5:20) and therefore a correct understanding of the nature of
His Sonship is critical to knowing the true God.

Son of God in His human nature, or both?

1JO 4:9-10; 1PE 5:7; HEB 12:5-11.

The Election of Grace
I. Scripture affirms that eternal salvation is a matter of free grace: God extending mercy to unworthy
sinners in their fallen, sinful state of spiritual death. God acted in love and mercy before man did
anything to improve himself. EPH 2:1-6.
A. God sent His only begotten Son into the world to fulfill His law for them, since they could
not do so themselves. ROM 8:3, 7-8.
B. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, bore the guilt of their sins in His body and suffered the
penalty which they deserved, paying the debt of their sin with His own blood.

Christ v. Moses (Hebrews 3)
A. Paul devoted a substantial portion of the Epistle to the Hebrews setting forth the superiority of
Christ to all things.
1. In this text, Paul shows Christ's superiority to Moses.
2. This was a very important message for the Hebrews since they had such a high regard for
Moses. JOH 9:28-29.
a. The high regard for Moses was for many Hebrews merely token. JOH 5:45-47.
b. Paul's words here, though, would have a special importance for these Hebrews who
were “...holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling” (HEB 3:1), that is, these
