Jesus~The High Priest~ Hebrews Chapter Five Remember when the
author said that Jesus was like a Jewish high priest? Well, let us
explain…High Priests are kind of like a go-between for the people
and God. They offer gifts and sacrifices in the temple so that
anyone who's sinned can make things right with God. They also have
to be gentle when they're dealing with these sinners because, hey,
they're sinners themselves.One does not simply walk into Modar and
one does not simply appoint himself to be the high priest. Jesus is
no different.The high priest doesn't get elected. He's hand-picked
by God, just like Aaron was in Exodus…and just like Jesus was.So,
God appointed Jesus to be the high priest for all the people in the
whole world. He never sinned himself, but he earned his stripes by
becoming human, obeying God, suffering, and dying.Now a jab at the
listeners (the folks it was addressed to almost 2,000 years ago):
they're a little bit dim-witted.Yeah, they're slacking a bit in the
whole understanding-God-and-the-mysteries-of-the-universe
department.The author thinks they're a bit like little babies who
aren't quite ready for solid food yet.Mature Christians, on the
other hand, know the difference between good and evil and can
handle solid food (i.e., complex theological
discussions).   Thanks to www.shmoop.com
