Jesus Our Great High Priest Serves at a Great Altar

by | Mar 17, 2018

Fifth Midweek Lenten Service

SERMON TEXT:  Hebrews 10:5-12

We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat. The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bor. For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise-the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forgot to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
