Building God's House (Hebrews 3:1-6)

We learn that Jesus is the apostle and high priest of our faith. We understand that Christ is priest, but saying that Christ is an apostle is very unique. When I say unique, I mean this is the only place in the Bible where we find that Jesus is an apostle. We learn that Jesus is sent on his mission to secure us as an exodus people. Moses is a faithful servant, but Jesus is the faithful son who builds his temple. We are being built together as the Lord's temple and we long for the true heavenly temple.

One Mediator of All? (1 Timothy 2:1-7; LD 18; BC Article 26)

The claim that there is one mediator that we have in Christ seems like a poor arrangement.  We think that it stands to reason that to have more eggs in more baskets provides for us additional security.  So, why would we wantto rest in the one God-Man who resides in the glory of heaven? So, why is it good that we have one mediator?  What does it mean that He is the mediator of all?  Why would we be content with such a mediator?

Don’t Worry He’s Sovereign: Sentence (Mark 15:1-20)

Christ is the one who does not deserve to die because He is the only one who can claim that He does not fall under the sentence of Adam.  He is unjustly condemned so that we can be mercifully reconciled to the living God.  We read in Hebrews that we have a high priest who can sympathize with us.  How can the God-Man sympathize with mere humans?  How can He really know our struggle if He Himself has not sinned, done any wrong, or struggled with sin?  How do we know that Christ really does know the pain of this world?
