Welcome to Whitestone Christian Fellowship's Facebook Page. Last week's "High Priest Forever" becomes "Faithful High Priest" as we finish Hebrews 7 this week. The audio portion of the teaching will be posted on the Church website with a slight delay as our Webmaster is working from out of town. Please be patient, is all I can ask. The end of working remotely is at least in sight.
We encourage you to use the information on this page, and read ahead for the teaching itself. The audio will be found at <whitestonecf.com>
========================
Reading: Matthew 1:21-22
Message: Hebrews 7:13-28 “ Faithful High Priest ”
Bobservations –
As the scribe of Hebrews continues, we are reminded that his identity does not have to be assigned to any Epistle. 2 Timothy 3: 16 tells us that all scripture is given by inspiration of God. 2 Peter 1: 20 says “Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” The inspired word of God is identified clearly as the source of these verses. We take it somewhat for granted, because “by two or three witnesses, a thing is established.“ As these two verses follow the standard of proof, what might more than a dozen cross references do for our belief that The Word written, or verbally shared, is inspired by God the Holy Spirit? While the Word is breathed into us, a dozen references+ should take our breath away!
2 Samuel 23: 2 quotes King David’s final words: “The Spirit of the LORD (spoke) by me, and His Word was in my tongue.” This is a most interesting verse from the end of King David’s life. Not only was God’s Word spoken to David, but it was in his own tongue, to be clearly understood by him, and his progeny, and his Kingly successor, Solomon.
Verse 3 continues, “The God of Israel said, ‘The Rock of Israel (spoke) to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.’”
King David has said the Spirit of Jehovah (LORD) spoke to him; The Rock of Israel (spoke) to him saying, “And He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.”
The Rock of Israel became the Rock of Offense as Israel rejected Jesus. One day their eyes and ears shall be opened, and on that clear, shining morning, Israel shall know Him, just as we do. But in this passage from 2 Samuel, as Jehovah spoke, of the Rock of Israel, it is the Father speaking of the Son, as given by the Holy Spirit, the unified work of the Holy Trinity.
