Scholars often explain Hebrews’ relative silence regarding Jesus’ resurrection by emphasizing the author’s appeal to Yom Kippur’s two key moments—the sacrificial slaughter and the high priest’s presentation of blood in the holy of holies—in his distinctive portrayal of Jesus’ death and heavenly exaltation. The writer’s depiction of Jesus as the high priest whose blood effected ultimate atonement appears to be modeled upon these two moments. Such a typology discourages discrete reflection on Jesus’ resurrection. Drawing on contemporary studies of Jewish sacrifice (which note that blood represents life, not death), parallels in Jewish apocalyptic literature, and fresh exegetical insights, this volume demonstrates that Jesus’ embodied, resurrected life is crucial for the high-priestly Christology and sacrificial soteriology developed in Hebrews.

Jesus Christ is The Way into God's glorious presence. When Jesus laid down his life on the tree at Calvary, he gave us unlimited access to God Almighty. In presenting himself as God's sacrifice for us, he became our "approach offering," opening the way into God's very presence. Much has been written about Christians' lack of purpose or vision for their own lives. "Discovering what God has put you on the planet to do," has become the rage in Christian circles. Perhaps this is symptomatic of our self-absorbed, narcissistic culture and times in which we live. It is when we discover what God put Christ on this planet to do, that we can rise up to fulfill God's will.This book is not about us, it is about HIM. I have written this book to help you become immersed in Christ and his accomplishments at Calvary. As we view the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ and their aftereffects with precise clarity, our Christian walks will take on the power and purpose God intended. Lack of knowledge of what Christ accomplished induces the Christian to be preoccupied with lesser things. May this book help Christians to be absorbed more in Christ and less in themselves. This book lays out and elucidates the Scriptures so that readers can gain a clearer, more detailed understanding of Christ's accomplishments. The first part of the book examines the Hebrew texts, unlocking the paramount theme of Leviticus: approaching God. Readers can see that many of the offerings were actually approach offerings and that these sacrifices looked forward to Christ, God's final approach offering. The second half of the book shows that each Christian has a God-given right to approach the Heavenly Father boldly with fearless mind and how we come before God holy and without blemish. It closes with our "final approach" to heaven to meet our Lord Jesus Christ and rejoice in God's presence for eternity.

The Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture (SCDS) series promotes fresh understandings of Christian belief through creative, faithful readings of the canonical text. ---------------------------------- What does the epistle to the Hebrews mean when it calls Jesus 'Son'? Is 'Son' a title that denotes his eternal identity in the one, triune God? Or is it a title given to Jesus in light of his unique role as the Messiah? In this volume, theologian and pastor Bobby Jamieson considers the complexity of the Christology presented in the epistle to the Hebrews. Exploring the paradox of the term, Jamieson argues that we should understand Jesus' sonship in light of both his eternal existence as a distinct person of the triune God as well as the messianic office to which he is appointed. Jesus is, in short, the eternal Son who became the incarnate Son in order to fulfil the mission given to him by the Father.

A provocative reinterpretation of accounts of spirit possession and exorcism in early Christianity The earliest Christian writings are filled with stories of possession and exorcism, which were crucial for the activity of the historical Jesus and for the practice of the earliest groups of his followers. Most critical scholarship, however, regularly marginalizes these topics or discards them altogether in reconstructing early Christian history. This innovative book approaches the study of possession from a different methodological angle by using a comparative lens that includes contemporary ethnographies of possession cross-culturally. Possession, besides being a harmful event that should be exorcized, can also have a positive role in many cultures. Often it helps individuals and groups to reflect on and reshape their identity, to plan their moral actions, and to remember in a most vivid way their past. When read in light of these materials, these ancient documents reveal the religious, cultural, and social meaning that the experience of possession had for the early Christ groups.

Explore this stunning quality of God’s grace: It never ends! In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom—everything we need—to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues like anxiety, despondency, greed, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. Ultimate joy, peace, and hope in life and death are found in a confident, continual awareness of the reality of future grace.
