High Priest Forever

Jesus is the key that unlocks the Hebrew Scriptures and reveals the nature and redemptive purposes of the God of Israel . Jesus unveils the knowledge and plans of God, and he is the center of his Father’s purposes for the redemption of humanity. He is the key that opens our understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures, and only Christ is qualified to explain and demonstrate the Divine Nature. In Jesus of Nazareth, all the promises of God find their “Y ea and Amen! ”

Jesus, the Word made flesh, is the interpretive key that opens the Hebrew Scriptures and reveals the Father . Jesus of Nazareth is the one who reveals the purposes and fulfills the mysteries of God. Only he is qualified to “ interpret ” the “ unseen God .” In him alone, all the promises of God find their “ Yea ” and “ Amen .” He is the key   that unlocks the Hebrew Scriptures and fulfills the words of the prophets. This principle is presented in the opening paragraph of  Letter to the Hebrews  and pictorially in the  Book of Revelation .

Followers of Jesus must cling tenaciously to the Word spoken in the Son or they will drift away from God’s gracious salvation . The Letter’s first literary section concludes with an exhortation and warning. The disciple of Jesus who fails to heed the far “ better word ” God is speaking in His Son will suffer an even “ sorer punishment ” than the rebellious Israelites when they disobeyed the Mosaic Law. The  Torah  was delivered to Moses by angels. Nevertheless, it was God’s word, and therefore, lawbreakers received severe punishments – (Hebrews 2:1-4).
