Hebrews 5

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Hebrews 5

1Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset by weakness.
3That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
4No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
5So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him:
“You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father.”
6And in another passage God says:
“You are a priest forever
in the order of Melchizedek.”
7During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.
8Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.
9And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him
10and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
11We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.
12Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!
13For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.
14But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.
