  • The High Priest’s Purpose

    Hebrews 5:1–2

  • Draw Near in Confidence

    Hebrews 4:16

    God’s holiness should indeed cause those who do not know Christ to run far away from Him. Those who know Christ, however, must remember Calvin’s assertion that “when Christ receives us under His protection and patronage, He covers with His ...Read More

  • Sympathetic to Weakness

    Hebrews 4:15

  • Confidence in Christ

    Hebrews 4:14

  • Our Deliverer

    Hebrews 2:14–15
