The discussion being what we should know about Christ as the High Priest
Hebrews 8:1 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest,
who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
2 a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.
Christ:the High Priest of Promise
:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator
of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
That is to rightly discern flesh from Spirit.
2 Corinthians 5:16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh.
Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh,
yet now we know Him thus no longer.
To serve as a merciful and faithful High Priest
Hebrews 2:17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren,
that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God,
to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
To Be Faithful To All In God's House
Numbers 12:
5 Then the Lord came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door
of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward.
6 Then He said, Hear now My words:
If there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision;
I speak to him in a dream.
7 Not so with My servant Moses;
He is faithful in all My house.
8 I speak with him face to face,
Even plainly, and not in dark sayings;
And he sees the form of the Lord.
Why then were you not afraid
To speak against My servant Moses?
Hebrews 3:
1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling,
consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,
2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also in all His house.
3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses,
inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.
4 For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.
5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant,
for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,
6 but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast
the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
