Jesus, the Faithful Priest

The gulf that existed between God and us was caused by sin. The problem was compounded because sin also implied the corruption of our nature. God is holy, and sin cannot exist in His presence; so, our own corrupted nature separated us from God, just as two magnets in the wrong orientation repel each other. In addition, our corrupted nature made it impossible for human beings to obey God’s law. Sin also involves misunderstanding. Human beings lost sight of the love and mercy of God and came to see Him as wrathful and demanding. This week's study will look into the amazing things the Father and the Son did to bridge that gulf.

In his journeying, Abraham is suspended in the void—without his past, which he has lost, and without his future, which he does not see.  In the New Testament, Abraham is one of the most mentioned figures from the Old Testament, and we will start to see why.

Jesus, Our Faithful Brother

This study looks into three big questions  First, we are told that Christ offered prayers to God who was able to save Him from death, and He was heard. What does it mean that Jesus was heard and saved from death? Second, Jesus learned obedience. How did He learn obedience? Was it because, at some point, He was a disobedient Son? Third, Jesus was made perfect. Was He not all along perfect, without sin?
