Luke 22:63-71. Jesus is the great eternal High Priest and yet He stood accused before the earthly High Priest! He was asked if He was (1) the Messiah and (2) the Son of God. He clearly affirmed that He was. These questions remain so important for each person to answer today. If He is who […]

Leviticus 16. What happened on Yom Kippur? How does this feast speak of Jesus and His atoning work for us? Why does the book of Hebrews call Jesus our High Priest so many times? Oh how enriching it is to consider the OT shadows and typology that looks to the work of Jesus! 

Lev 23:33-36. We realise how astounding Jesus’ claims to give “living water” and to be the “light of the world” were when we consider the context and practises of the feast. We also see how Sukkot was a foreshadowing of the Kingsom to come!

Hebrews 4:14-16. The understanding of God’s throne of grace is so critical for each believer. Our natural tendency is to withdraw when we fail or to come with great reservations, yet we are told to come boldly to the throne. Each time we do we will only obtain mercy and also find grace in that […]
