Sermon Overview
This sermon focuses on the superiority of Christ's priesthood over the Aaronic order.

He emphasizes that Christ's sympathetic nature—having been tempted in all points—makes Him the perfect High Priest for struggling saints.
Key Principles
Heavenly Sanctuary:Realize that your worship and prayers are being handled by a Priest in the real, heavenly Tabernacle.
Melchizedek Order:Trust in the "endless life" and permanence of Christ’s priesthood over any human system.
One-time Sacrifice: Rest in the absolute finality of Christ's blood; stop trying to "re-pay" for your sins.
Anchor of the Soul:Tether your emotions and security to the "Anchor" that is already behind the veil in God's presence.
Bold Invitation: Use your "Priestly access" to go boldly to the Throne of Grace at the first sign of need.
Sympathy with Infirmity:Comfort yourself with the fact that Jesus understandsyour struggle because He lived it.
Primary Work Today:Realize that Jesus is currently "talking to the Father about you"—let this be your greatest security.
Representation: Rely on the fact that when the Father looks at you, He sees you through your Representative, the Son.
