Preachers and teachers of God's word often struggle with determining and then conveying the main point of their message or lesson. As I continue my attempt to "blog" through the Book of Hebrews, I begin chapter eight where we read in the first verse, "Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens".
It is not necessarily always spelled out for us so clearly. But here it is clear and precise. In fact, as I consider all that the Hebrew author had been inspired to write about Christ in the first seven chapters, I began to wonder if we could determine any other "main point" than what is stated. In fact, it seems to be a statement that we can not give sufficient importance to. We have such a high priest!
The Hebrew author is not finished with his inspired words about the One who abides forever and holds His priesthood permanently. But as we read through these first seven chapters we should each come to the same enthusiastic conclusion. We have such a high priest! Praise God for Him!
