Sermon Highlights

HEBREWS 5:7-10 (ESV)

“In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 10 being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.”

• Jesus learned obedience through suffering

• He was always the Son, but He became King through the school of obedience

• Suffering = the state of undergoing pain, distress, or hardship

• Obedience teaches us trust

• Jesus came to reign as King but He gained His:

  1. Authority through obedience
  2. Exaltation by humility
  3. Ultimate victory through sacrifice

• What gave Jesus the ability to walk in obedience to the Father, even in the midst of intense pressure to conform and go the way of the world? ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE

• Jesus’ road is our road

• Jesus’ pain became our gain and led to His victorious reign
