Jesus Everyone

Hebrews 9:11-28

“All Christian preachers have to face this issue. Either we preach that human beings are rebels against God, under his just judgment and (if left to themselves) lost, and that Christ crucified who bore their sin and curse is the only available Saviour. Or we emphasize human potential and human ability, with Christ brought in only to boost them, and with no necessity for the cross except to exhibit God’s love and so inspire us to greater endeavour. The former is the way to be faithful, the latter the way to be popular. It is not possible to be faithful and popular simultaneously.”
―John R.W. Stott, The Cross of Christ

Why do people need Jesus?

1. Jesus is the only one who can them. Vs. 11-14

“A guilty conscience is a great blessing, but only if it drives us to come home.”
― John Stott, The Cross of Christ

2. Jesus death mediates a covenant than the law of Moses. Vs. 15-22

• (Lev 5:11-13)
• (Lev 15:10)
• (Num 31:22-23)

3. Jesus is the only way to spend with the Father.

• “he will bear their iniquities” (Isa 53:11)
• “he bore the sins of many” (Isa 53:12)

It is always hard to see the purpose in wilderness wanderings until after they are over.”
― John Bunyan, The Pilgrim’s Progress: From This World to That Which Is to Come
