Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

And it's very plain to see

It's not the way it used to be.

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter-by- verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues his message,

Jesus, our high priest, as we pick up in Hebrews chapter 5, verse 1.

And now with today's study, here's Pastor Chuck.

So we turn now in our Bibles to Hebrews chapter 5.

At the end of chapter 4, the author of Hebrews introduced the idea of Jesus being our great high priest.

Seeing then that we have a great high priest that is passed into heavens, the heavens,

Jesus, the son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

That would be our profession of faith.

For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities,

but was in all points tempted like as we are and yet without sin or tempted apart from sin.

Let us therefore come boldly under the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find

grace to help.

We can come boldly to the throne of grace because we have a great high priest.
