Hebrews 9:16-28: The Power of Christ’s Death
Manage episode 473971164 series 1183152
When God established His covenant with Israel, He didn't create empty rituals; every sacrifice was His sacred design for forgiving sins through the blood He commanded to be shed. But Hebrews 9 reveals these God-ordained sacrifices were pointing forward to something greater, like checks written against a coming deposit, the people received forgiveness in light of the coming Messiah who would make perfect the entire sacrificial system. Now Christ has entered as both the perfect High Priest and the flawless Lamb, turning those provisional promises into permanent redemption.
The Rev. Steven Theiss, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Wells, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Hebrews 9:16-28.
For centuries, God spoke through prophets, in visions, through fire and thunder on Mount Sinai. But now, Hebrews tells us, He has spoken fully and finally in His Son. This book isn’t just another epistle—it’s the key that unlocks the Old Testament, revealing how everything was always pointing to Christ. The prophets, the angels, the priesthood, the sacrifices—all find their fulfillment in Him. Over the next several weeks, we’ll walk through Hebrews, uncovering its depth, its urgency, and its breathtaking vision of Jesus as the great High Priest, the perfect sacrifice, and the One who is greater than all who came before. If you’ve ever wondered how the Old and New Testaments connect, how the shadows become substance, this is the book to study.
Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
