Have you been abandoned? Not if you are a christian, because you have a great Hight Priest. The Lord Jesus Christ has reconciled all who trust in him to God. He has finished the work of redemption. He is praying on our behalf, as we see in John chapter 17.

This festive season is all about the birth of the baby Jesus in Bethlehem, but why was he born?

The conduct of the Israelites who had been miraculously delivered from slavery in Egypt was marked by unbelief and disobedience. Consequently, God swore in his wrath that they would not enter into his rest. You need to fear lest you come short of the promised rest of God. What is this rest and how can you come short of it?

There is nothing better for you than to consider the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our Apostle and High Priest. We have the comparison with Moses who was faithful, but how much greater Christ is.

Why did the son of God come into the world as a man? He came for the suffering of death. He came to taste death for every man. Before we get into any notion that the Lord Jesus Christ suffered for every single person you need to see verse ten "in bringing many sons" or verse eleven "they who are sanctified are all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethern" He died on the cross for those God had given him.
