About this sermon

In order for us to grasp the argument being made by the writer of Hebrews, we must always bear in mind that there were new realities introduced into being by the incarnation. We must also bear in mind that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament promise and hope. In Jesus of Nazareth we meet with Him who is the eternal Word of God, the eternal Son of God. At the same time we meet with the One who was born of a virgin in Bethlehem. We meet with Him who hungered and thirsted and grew weary and wept. We meet with someone who, though He was not conceived be a human father, had parents, who learned obedience, who had brothers and sisters, who grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men, who was tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. In this one person we meet with someone who existed as God, from all eternity, before He ever had an existence as a man on earth. Yet we also meet with someone who DID have an existence as a man on earth, someone who had a human nature that had its beginning in time.
