Dear RTB’ers,
The STS authors list “Revision” instead of a Scripture reading for today’s assignment, but “Review” is probably a better word. And that’s mostly what we did at yesterday’s RTB gathering, looking at the whole of the book of Hebrews. Mostly the group lauded our STS authors for putting Leviticus and Hebrews back-to-back. We compared Jesus’ sacrifice to the animal sacrifices set forth in Leviticus – which were still ongoing in Jesus’ time. We looked at Jesus as our High Priest compared to the Aaronic high priests. And we spent a good bit of time analyzing Jesus as a priest “according to the order of Melchizedek.” All in all, a really good session. Looking ahead, we’ve tentatively got March 9 as our next RTB gathering. I’ll have to clear that with Sharon, but for now, let’s get it on our calendars!
As to the STS questions, I would seriously encourage all of us to look at their second question, asking us to look at the positive exhortations in those specific verses that they list, included here for your benefit –
- Hebrews 2:1
- Hebrews 4:1,11,14,16
- Hebrews 6:1
- Hebrews 10:22-24
- Hebrews 12:1,28
- Hebrews 13:17,22
A good exercise…!
Now on to Numbers for the rest of the month!
Blessings!
