히브리서 저자는 광야 같은 길을 가는 동안 하나님의 긍휼과 은혜를 입게 해주신 대제사장 예수님을 소개하고, 이어서 예수님이 어떻게 우리의 대제사장이 되셨는지 설명합니다. 

[ 히브리서 4:14 - 5:10 ] (찬송388장)

큰 대제사장이신 예수님 

14그러므로 우리에게 큰 대제사장이 계시니 승천하신 이 곧 하나님의 아들 예수시라 우리가 믿는 도리를 굳게 잡을지어다 15우리에게 있는 대제사장은 우리의 연약함을 동정하지 못하실 이가 아니요 모든 일에 우리와 똑같이 시험을 받으신 이로되 죄는 없으시니라 16그러므로 우리는 긍휼하심을 받고 때를 따라 돕는 은혜를 얻기 위하여 은혜의 보좌 앞에 담대히 나아갈 것이니라  

 아론 계열의 대제사장 

 5:1대제사장마다 사람 가운데서 택한 자이므로 하나님께 속한 일에 사람을 위하여 예물과 속죄하는 제사를 드리게 하나니 2그가 무식하고 미혹된 자를 능히 용납할 수 있는 것은 자기도 연약에 휩싸여 있음이라 3그러므로 백성을 위하여 속죄제를 드림과 같이 또한 자신을 위하여도 드리는 것이 마땅하니라 4이 존귀는 아무도 스스로 취하지 못하고 오직 아론과 같이 하나님의 부르심을 받은 자라야 할 것이니라

 그리스도의 대제사장 자격 

 5또한 이와 같이 그리스도께서 대제사장 되심도 스스로 영광을 취하심이 아니요 오직 말씀하신 이가 그에게 이르시되 너는 내 아들이니 내가 오늘 너를 낳았다 하셨고 6또한 이와 같이 다른 데서 말씀하시되 네가 영원히 멜기세덱의 반차를 따르는 제사장이라 하셨으니 7그는 육체에 계실 때에 자기를 죽음에서 능히 구원하실 이에게 심한 통곡과 눈물로 간구와 소원을 올렸고 그의 경건하심으로 말미암아 들으심을 얻었느니라 8그가 아들이시면서도 받으신 고난으로 순종함을 배워서 9온전하게 되셨은즉 자기에게 순종하는 모든 자에게 영원한 구원의 근원이 되시고 10하나님께 멜기세덱의 반차를 따른 대제사장이라 칭하심을 받으셨느니라

[ Hebrews 4:14 - 5:10 ]

14Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.5 :1For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.2 He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness.3 Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as he does for those of the people.4 And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.5 So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”;6 as he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered.9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,10 being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek. 

Who is God like?

Thinking & Understanding

Hebrews introduces Jesus as ‘a priest not in the order of Aaron but in the order of Melchizedek’. Melchizedek (Gen. 14:18-20) was a special priest who was chosen by God irrespective of his bloodline. The Jewish high priests who gave offerings on behalf of sinners were limited by being sinners themselves. However, Jesus gave a perfect offering on behalf of sinners as a sinless high priest. Jesus became a human being and personally suffered for the sake of obedience. Therefore, he can understand our sufferings and help us at the proper time (4:14-5:10). 

Who is Jesus?

5:8- 9 Jesus is the model example of obedience. The obedience Jesus demonstrated through his death is the foundation for our salvation and the guidepost of life that we, who have been saved, must follow. Are you merely boasting of being saved by Jesus’ death? Jesus beckons us, who have been saved, to follow him. 

What lesson is God teaching me?

4:14-16 The less confident we feel about standing before God, the more we need to go before him. Because of Jesus, the high priest, our weaknesses have become the subject of God’s grace and aid rather than God’s judgement. When we are struggling to obey the Word, we mustn’t give up but pray. 

Prayer

Lord, thank you for becoming a high priest on whom we, who are weak, can always rely.
