These means Jesus Christ came as a man made by God to take a position of high priest with flesh and blood in suffering and sacrifice himself ones and for all because in him we have two options the Holy Spirit and man Spirit that 's breathed Gen 6vs3 Matthias 5vs48 LEVITICUS 19vs1to 3 Holiness.
Jesus brought us our heavenly manna the word of God. Blessed are those who believe in Jesus that he is the Son of the Living God and obey his words will not be perish but have everlasting life. Man does not live by bread alone but by every word of God. We must obey what Jesus says and follow and live like Jesus. He loves us so much and he is faithful to his promises that he will never leave us nor forsake us. Thank you Jesus for your precious blood that shed for us. Amen
Try and find the "meat " in today 's varied church meetings! Hungering for something more substantial than milk will be the driving force behind perfecting our characters!
Even as the the purpose of the intent of God is from the beggining of creation that man should be in likeness and image of God, that through the second man Adam that we be sons of God to know both good and evil
When we are children in the kingdom or basically we are young in spiritual matters we tend to think everything cheeply just like little kids who cannot digest solid food, we should grow iin the things of the kingdom and we grow according to the spiritual but not the flesh.
Jesus showed compassion on ignorant and vulnerable people. Jesus never took the glory upon Himself but He glorified God, the father. All His prayers were with crying and years for us. We could see implicit obedience to His father in all His deeds and speech. He is the author of eternal salvation and He gives it to those who obey to His laws WE should not be dull of hearing the words of God. We need growth in our spiritual life .As child grows and become a perfect adult ,we must also grow to the full stature of Christ 's perfection.
Heb 5 speaks of d need for christians to grow in d character of d gospel by perseverance patience humility and faithfulness as be coming a matured christian
This verse shows that spiritual maturity does not depend on one's age, but on how one uses their perception. The person has to be able to perceive what is right and wrong from God's standpoint even when there is no direct Bible command.
I have always appreciated this verse. It helps me to see that constant study of God's word is vital to my spiritual maturity. Also, it shows that God certainly wants us to use what we learn from his word to be able to distinguish wrong from right.
Children need to be taught word for word, "don't do this..... do that". As we mature our knowledge from God's word will be the basis for knowing wrong from right! Just love it!
solid food for strong people not for babes that become shaky at the slightest sign of affliction.the word lives in them that are strong irrespective of their chronological age -they are dependable teachers.
TILAK CHANDRA SEKARAN on Hebrews 5:14 - 11 years ago
I agree with People's bible Notes. Here the age doees not pertain to that of biological, but that of mind and the wisdom level. Only the matured mind can understand the deeper truths in Bible and conver that knowledge to it's and the benifit of the brotherhood.
So the spirit world can be understood in Christ's perception only by an enlightened soul.
Verses 12-14 have a heading spiritual immaturity in the New King James. The bible is clearly saying when we are saved and reborn, we have a lot to learn from the oracles of God also known as the torah or the Old Testament. So, anyone thinking that the new covenant did away with the 10 commandments needs to read Acts 21:24, John 10:15, 2 Timothy 3:15-16, 2 Peter 1:20, Mark 2:28, Mathew 7:21-23, Mark 7:6-9. At the time of the oracles or scriptures mentions, there was no New Testament. The only law nailed to the cross is Sacrificial and Ceremonial. The Moral Law (10 commandments) were written in stone because they are forever. John 14:10 says if ye love me keep my commandments. So why would he make them void after saying this? Would Jesus really say it's ok to have false gods? Kill, steal, commit adultery, bear false witness? That what doing away the OLD LAW means. The new covenant is no animal sacrifice or circumcision and other ceremonial law and tempering the moral laws and scriptural doctrine with love and compassion. Something the Pharisees lacked. That’s why he called their teaching bad leaven, or leaven to be avoided.
Mel-chis'e-dec who is without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God. Mel-chis'e-dec was God and what the writer is saying here that the Hebrews here knew the Law but didn't understand the Law therefore their understanding was that of a child and not that of an adult.
This chapter tells that Christ our saviour did a wonderful work for us (mankind) in the salvation and redemption of man from sin; even though He came spotless. Judging from the two chapters of Hebrews chapters 5 and 7, the two priests from Judah are priests that reign forever, (powerful) but there's a big difference between them. I think Melchizedek wouldn’t have saved us (done it perfectly well) even though in Hebrews 7:7, He blesses Abraham but He never had human feelings (wasn’t given birth to). Considering that fact as it was recorded in Genesis that Man kept on sinning against God, continually even after our sacrifice to God, He wouldn’t have had pity on us but Jesus did it. Another lesson from this chapter is that we got to equip ourselves with de word of God, so as not to be a victim in de hands of de devil. I praise you Redeemer.
My dear brothers and sisters, let us have a look from the prompt.. JESUS is of the tribe of Judah in Genesis 49:10, Micah 5:2, Matthew 2:6. He is Melchizedek in Hebrews 7 ( Genesis 14:18). What does it mean? Read Hebrews 7:2, he is a priest without being from the tribe of Levi.. but if you count any priest in the bible, all are by the tribe of Levi.. So what is the link in between Psalms 110:4 and Hebrews 5:10... both didn't come from the tribe of Levi. Therefore what should be the consequence? Read Hebrews 7:11-18.. So we should be aware of this simple oracle.. as in Hebrews 5:12.
What does the word perfect mean in scripture? But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does.( James 1:25). Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." ( Matthew 19:21) Does the perfect here means something different than the perfect used in 1st Corinthians 13:10? What is the perfect law of liberty? What was Jesus referencing when he told the rich young ruler if thou would be perfect go sell all that you have and come follow me. Could perfect mean complete? I'm just saying! Sometimes we make things more difficult than they should be! My feeling or my opinion is fruitless when it comes to the word of God. Solomon said in Proverbs 16:25 "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." In Matthew 7:24 Jesus said these words "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock." The Hebrew writer said in Hebrews 5:8-9 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,
Hear ( Mt 7:24), believe ( Jn 8:24) repent ( Lk 13:3,5) confess ( Acts 8:37) and be baptized for the remission of your sins, ( Acts 2:38, 8:12, acts 22:16)
As the high priest was ordained to offer sacrifices to God and for himself in Old Testament times, Hebrews Chapter 5 also enjoins all to get immersed in the Word so that we can graduate from being a suckling (needing milk, and therefore, unskilfull in the word of righteousness - verse 13), to someone chewing meet (which belongeth to them that are full of age, and with senses to discern between good and evil - verse 14). Today, we may not have High Priests like in the Old Testament days, the idea here is that if the word of God is deeply rooted in us, then, perhaps we also become priests too, according to the order of Melchisedek of old...
As in Old testament times, the high priest who was human, not only offered up sin sacrifces for the people, but for himself. Christ, our high priest was without sin being made perfect, and offered up himself for our sins, he is the spotless, passover lamb of God, having no blemishes.
He is our mediator, intercessor, pleading with God on our behalf, he knew what it was like to be human, to be hungry, thirsty, tired and tempted, ...for he was tempted on all points as we are, with the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and pride of life, ....tempted, but without sin, unto the death!
He is the Alpha and Omega, the Author and finisher of our faith and being the high priest in the order of Melchesadec, he is a high priest in the orderof the King of Righteousnes!
The Apostle offers us the strong meat of the Word in this Chapter. But we are not attuned to it owing to our focus on human and not spiritual things. He says we must be exercised in the recognition of good and evil so that we can choose to do the right thing and find favor with God. He gives us free will because He wants to know who will be his children and accept him as their Father in truth, absolutly, believing even though we haven't seen with fleshly eyes what Moses and Jesus saw plainly while in the flesh. Jesus spoke of it continually because he was a high priest after the order of Melchisidec, who is without father or mother, beginning or end, for there is no lineage stated for him in the Bible as there is for every other person in the bible except Adam. Jesus was such a high priest even though he was born of woman. He is therefor not unfamiliar with our plight and quickly guides us down the staightest way thru this world and into the next, which is the eternal truth and way that he himself was partaker of.
From this chapter it reveals that just as the high priest was chosen on earth according to the laws that God has given to Israelite priest to sacrifice on behalve of the individuals sins for forgiveness,like wise God the Father has chosen His Son as the promised One to be our High Priest(verse 5,6). As High Priest He is our intersecor for forgiveness when we have sinned and our saviour to help us when we are tempted, for it is written "We can do all things through Christ which strenghen us". Verse 7 show us the relationship between Him and His Father Jesus is that to us as our High Priest.We too can come to Him with or tears and supplications for He will hear us. Christ too were odedient to His Father even to death, so with us, we too can we have the same relationship as He has had with His Father on earth.Verse 8,9 shows that He too suffered being obedient to His Father, but He knew that if He follow perfect in the will off His Father He will save Him.Verse 9 shows us the result of His quest,"He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him".We do not need to ask an earthly priest for forgivness and help in our daily life only our Savior and High Priest Jesus Christ.
Children need to be taught word for word, "don't do this..... do that". As we mature our knowledge from God's word will be the basis for knowing wrong from right! Just love it!
So the spirit world can be understood in Christ's perception only by an enlightened soul.
