Teaching | Understanding Hebrews: Tempted and Tried (Hebrews 4:14-5-10)

We all face anxieties and fears in life. Those fears and anxieties get amplified in a world of social media which exposes us instantaneously to every horrible event. We feel the pressure of a post-Christian world that sees our faith as dangerous and bigoted. We fear the well-being of our children and the pressures they face in a world hostile to Christ. We know we should turn to prayer, but so often we find ourselves so disoriented and confused that words fail us. It’s in those moments that we need to cling to the precious reality of Christ as our great High Priest who intercedes for us. Robert Murray M’Cheyne once said, “If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies.” Our hope does not lie in the fact that we pray to Christ, but rather Christ prays for us. And that confidence actually opens the door for us to approach the throne of grace in the midst of our trials with confidence. This is Understanding Hebrews.
