What an awesome Sunday with our Charis Family! This week in our Greater series, we stepped into Hebrews 7 and 8 and met Melchizedek, one of the most mysterious figures in all of Scripture!

In Israel, priests could only come from the tribe of Levi, but Jesus came from the tribe of Judah. So how can Jesus be our High Priest? Hebrews 6:20 tells us He is a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

Melchizedek shows up in only three verses of Genesis. He was king of Salem and priest of God Most High, and his name means “king of righteousness,” while “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” Scripture records no beginning and no end for him, and Hebrews 7:3 says he resembles the Son of God. He was a shadow of a greater priest to come!

Hebrews 7:4-10 takes it even further. Abraham, the father of Israel, gave Melchizedek a tenth and received his blessing, and “the lesser is blessed by the greater.” Levi was still in the body of his ancestor Abraham, which means the whole Levitical priesthood honored someone greater before it even existed. And Melchizedek only resembled Jesus. Every other priest died and left office, but Jesus walked out of His tomb! Because He lives forever, He holds a permanent priesthood and “is able to save completely those who come to God through him” (Hebrews 7:24-25).

So how do we respond to our Great High Priest?

🔹 Give sacrificially. Abraham tithed to Melchizedek, and we give because He is God and everything we have came from His hand.
🔹 Don’t waste the access we’ve been given. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the throne (Hebrews 8:1), His Spirit lives in us, and we can draw near through prayer and Scripture with confidence.
🔹 Give Him praise and glory with our voices in worship and with lives of obedience.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:38-39), because our High Priest has conquered death and lives to intercede for us right now. He is greater!

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” Hebrews 6:19

Yesterday we continued our series in the book of Hebrews with chapter 6. The writer was speaking to Jewish Christians who had heard the gospel and seen God move. When persecution came, they began drifting back toward their old traditions. In 20 verses, he pours out a pastor’s heart and does four important things.

🔹 He calls them to grow up (v. 1-3). Repentance, faith, baptism, the laying on of hands, the resurrection, and eternal judgment are the foundation of our faith. A foundation exists so something can be built on it. We never outgrow the cross, and maturity happens when the truth we know starts shaping the choices we make.

🔹 He warns them about falling away (v. 4-8). In this passage, falling away means deliberately turning your back on Jesus after tasting the real thing. Jesus is the only sacrifice for sin, so walking away from Him leaves nowhere else to go.

🔹 He encourages them to keep going (v. 9-12). Right after the hardest warning in the book, he calls them “dear friends.” The Greek word is agapētoi, which means beloved. His warning came from love! God won’t forget the love they’ve shown His people, and he urges each one of them to stay diligent to the very end.

🔹 He anchors them to God’s promise (v. 13-20). Abraham waited 25 years for the son God promised him. There was no one greater for God to swear by, so He swore by Himself and put His own name and character behind His word.

Early Christians carved anchors into the catacombs beneath Rome as a sign of their hope while they endured persecution, and the anchors were often shaped to hide a cross. The storms still come, but our anchor keeps us from drifting because it’s fastened to Jesus. He has gone ahead of us into the very presence of God.

This week, ask yourself where you’ve stopped growing, and ask God to show you the next step forward.

Sundays are better at Charis City!

Yesterday in our series Greater: A Study In The Book Of Hebrews, we looked at Chapters 4 and 5. The original readers were weary Jewish Christians tempted to drift back to the temple and the comfort of an earthly priest, and the writer reminds them they already have a Great High Priest in Jesus!

🔹 We are laid bare before God. The Greek word in 4:13 described exposing the neck of a sacrificial animal, and it appears nowhere else in the New Testament. But the very next word is “therefore,” because God knows how vulnerable we are and gave us Jesus.

🔹 Jesus empathizes with our weaknesses. The word is sympatheō, meaning “to suffer with.” He was tempted in every way, just as we are, yet never sinned, so He knows the full weight of temptation better than anyone!

🔹 We can approach the throne of grace with confidence. Only the high priest could enter the Most Holy Place, once a year. When Jesus died, the curtain tore from top to bottom, and now we can come boldly to receive mercy and find grace in our time of need!

🔹 Jesus exceeds every qualification for high priest. He came from among the people, deals gently with those going astray, and was called by God. The old priests offered sacrifices for their own sins, but Jesus offered Himself once and for all!

🔹 We are called to grow up. The readers had become dull of hearing and still needed milk. Maturity comes through training, from the Greek word gymnazō, where we get “gymnasium.”

Jesus didn’t keep His distance from our pain. He prayed with tears, learned obedience through suffering, and became the source of eternal salvation. Now He sits on a throne of grace inviting us to come close. Whether you’ve never come to Him, have drifted, or are carrying something heavy, bring it to Him with confidence!

A baptism and starting our new series on Hebrews - what a great way to celebrate Sunday together!

Hebrews was written to Jewish Christians who were weary, facing pressure, and tempted to go back to the familiar temple system of priests and sacrifices. The writer's message to them is simple. Jesus is greater than anything else, and nothing compares to Him!

Hebrews 1:1-4 shows us just how great Jesus is:
🔹 God once spoke through the prophets, and now He has spoken to us through His Son. The prophets talked about a God no one could see, and Jesus is the God we can see!
🔹 Jesus is the heir of all things and the One through whom God made the universe. Everything we have ultimately belongs to Him.
🔹 He is the radiance of God's glory, a Greek word describing the brightness that shines out from a light source, and the exact representation of His being, a word used for an image stamped onto a coin. If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus.
🔹 He is sustaining all things by His powerful word. The One who holds the stars in place hasn't lost His grip on you!
🔹 After providing purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God. The Old Testament priests never sat down because their work was never done, and Jesus sat down because His work is finished. You can rest in what He's done!

Hebrews 2 opens with a "therefore." Because Jesus is this great, we're called to pay the most careful attention to Him. And Hebrews 2:3 calls this "so great a salvation." It was first announced by Jesus Himself, confirmed by eyewitnesses who walked with Him, and backed by God through signs, wonders, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, gifts He still gives every believer today to build up the church.

The more we focus on how great Jesus really is, the more our lives line up with what we say we believe. This week, pick one area of your life and take a step to give Jesus first place. He's already finished the work, and putting Him first is how we respond to a Savior this great!

Sharing truth requires us to reflect Jesus through a posture of mercy and love, rather than self-righteousness or anger.
