“The Things He Suffered”
Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You’; just as He says also in another passage, ‘You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizadek.’ Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things that He suffered. And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, being designated by Go

“An End To Every Dispute”
Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute. In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a fore-runner for us, having become a hig

Jesus, Our Guarantee Of A Better Hope Through His Better Covenant
Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of it’s weakness and uselessness (for the law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. And inasmuch as it was not without an oath (for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him, “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mi

When He Offered Up Himself
Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens; who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself” Hebrews 7:26-27 Our High Priest, Jesus Christ, made the supreme sacrifice for our sins and for the sins o
