5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You.”<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

6 As He also says in another place: “You are a priest forever\u00a0 according to the order of Melchizedek”;<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear,<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

10 called by God as High Priest “according to the order of Melchizedek,”<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

Christ’s qualifications for priesthood parallel those of the Levitical priests \u2014 shown in reverse order. Although His qualifications parallel those of the Levitical priests, they are far superior.<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    His priesthood is of a higher order<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    His suffering is without sin<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n

    His sacrifice is complete and final<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Christ did not appoint Himself but was appointed by God (v.5).<\/h3>\n

    You are My Son (v.5) \u2014 from Psalm 2:7<\/span><\/a> (see Hebrews 1:5<\/span><\/a><\/span>)<\/h3>\n

    Melchizedek (v.6) \u2014 he was a king-priest, as is Christ \u2014 from Psalm 110:4<\/h3>\n

    Christ is compassionate due to His sufferings (Mark 14:34; Luke 22:44)<\/h3>\n

    Christ offered the complete and final sacrifice for sin.<\/h3>\n

    save Him from death (v.7) \u2014 saved “out from within” death \u2014 not<\/span> saved from dying a physical death<\/h3>\n

    was heard (v.7) \u2014 includes also that He was delivered \u2014 Psalm 22:24<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

    fear (v.7) = careful and respectful handling \u2014 reverence for God’s will<\/h3>\n

    Though He was a Son (v.8) = lit. “Son though He was” \u2014 emphasizing the eternal unity and dignity of His relationship with the Father<\/h3>\n

    learned obedience (v.8) \u2014 experienced it<\/h3>\n

    perfected (v.9) \u2014 not moral perfection, but fulfilling the requirements of a high priest and being exalted to glory<\/h3>\n

    author (v.9) = cause<\/h3>\n

    obey (v.9) = listen, then do what the word says \u2014 the obedience of faith<\/h3>\n

    called (v.10) = addressed, saluted<\/h3>\n

    Melchizadek (v.10) \u2014 Genesis 14:18-20<\/span><\/a> \u2014 Zechariah 6:13, Christ as a king-priest<\/h3>\n

    The cup for Him in Gethsemane included two things, that He was to be made sin, and that the fellowship between Father and Son would be broken. Our Lord fully expected to be raised out from among the dead. Hence there was no need of such a petition. Furthermore, if He had prayed for escape from physical death, His prayer was not answered. And the writer to the Hebrews says that his prayer spoken of in 5:7 was<\/em> answered, which shows that escape from physical death was not in the writer’s mind.<\/span><\/h3>\n

    The prayer here was a petition to be saved out from under death. It was a prayer for resurrection, uttered on the Cross. It is believed, and with good reason, that our Lord uttered the entire 22nd Psalm<\/span><\/a> while hanging on the Cross. It is His own description of what took place there. Verses 1-13 speak of His heart sufferings; those due to His abandonment by God in verses 1-6, those due to the fact that mankind spurned Him in verses 7-13. His physical sufferings are described in verses 14-18. His prayer for resurrection is recorded in verses 19-21, and His thanksgiving for answered prayer in verses 22-31.\u00a0 \u2014 Wuest, pages 99-100.<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
