Talált 904 Eredmények: Second Coming Of Christ
So it is with Christ. He did not raise himself to the dignity of the high priesthood; it was God that raised him to it, when he said, Thou art my Son, I have begotten thee this day,✻ (Hebrews 5, 5)
Christ, during his earthly life, offered prayer and entreaty to the God who could save him from death, not without a piercing cry, not without tears; yet with such piety as won him a hearing.✻ (Hebrews 5, 7)
Of Christ as priest we have much to say, and it is hard to make ourselves understood in the saying of it, now that you have grown so dull of hearing.✻ (Hebrews 5, 11)
We must leave on one side then, all discussion of our first lessons in Christ, and pass on to our full growth; no need to lay the foundations all over again, the change of heart which turns away from lifeless observances, the faith which turns towards God,✻ (Hebrews 6, 1)
which Jesus Christ, our escort, has entered already, a high priest, now, eternally with the priesthood of Melchisedech. (Hebrews 6, 20)
But God, you see, does find fault; this is what he tells them: Behold, says the Lord, a time is coming when I will ratify a new covenant with the people of Israel, and with the people of Juda.✻ (Hebrews 8, 8)
Meanwhile, Christ has taken his place as our high priest, to win us blessings that still lie in the future. He makes use of a greater, a more complete tabernacle, which human hands never fashioned; it does not belong to this order of creation at all.✻ (Hebrews 9, 11)
and shall not the blood of Christ, who offered himself, through the Holy Spirit, as a victim unblemished in God’s sight, purify our consciences, and set them free from lifeless observances, to serve the living God?✻ (Hebrews 9, 14)
and Christ was offered once for all, to drain the cup of a world’s sins; when we see him again, sin will play its part no longer, he will be bringing salvation to those who await his coming.✻ (Hebrews 9, 28)
As Christ comes into the world, he says, No sacrifice, no offering was thy demand; thou hast endowed me, instead, with a body. (Hebrews 10, 5)
See then, I said, I am coming to fulfil what is written of me, where the book lies unrolled; to do thy will, O my God.✻ (Hebrews 10, 7)
and then:—I said, See, my God, I am coming to do thy will. He must clear the ground first, so as to build up afterwards. (Hebrews 10, 9)
