Through the New Testament Reading - Luke 19
Hebrews 4-6 (NIV 1984)

Notes on Hebrews 4-6
Chapter 4
It is through faith in Jesus, who fulfilled the law, that we receive salvation.
Jesus has become our High Priest.
Chapter 5
A priest must be human to identify with human frailty and faults.
Jesus is our High Priest, human and therefore able to empathize, but perfectly God and able to offer perfect prayers of intercession on our behalf.
His perfect priesthood offers perfect salvation.
Chapter 6
Faithful Christians grow in maturity.
Our faith is in Jesus, not our works.
Faithful believers don't quit.
Our salvation is in God's covenant, a covenant he will never break.
Jesus has become our permanent lifeline to a permanent covenant.
Our salvation is sure and unbreakable in Jesus.

Engaging ancient scripture in alternative community.
Wrestling in and with community, empire, and freedom.
Approaching the Bible humbly, allowing it to read me.
These notes are old, but I'm keeping the blog up
mostly to preserve the entries on Genesis, for now.
They are being rewritten for a book, tentatively titled West of Eden.
This blog is dedicated to my church.
