Why Christ is real compared to other prophets
Humans eventually higher than angels in the new Earth
Christ had to come down and be born and grow as a man
Christ conquered death for all of us
Christ is greater than Moses
Make every effort to enter God’s rest
Christ has been Human and knows of temptation
having suffered, Christ is now perfect
We need milk and food
not lazy but to imitate those who are faithful and patient
Jesus has permanent priesthood
Out with the old, in with the new
Those who endure will receive eternal security

God already knows who will be saved
Sabbath rest and spiritual rest

Chapter 6

Keep maturing on the word, do not get stuck relearning the same ideas
Baptism is sign of internal cleansing

Promise to Abraham with Jesus Christ coming to fulfill the promise
Melchizedek received 1/10 from Abraham, carried on until Levi’s generation also had tithe

verses 14-16, Christ not of Levi but of Judah, he is another like Melchizedek, not following regulations

Chapter 9

Explaining old covenant was Earthly and how the new covenant is better
verse 5, atonement cover where they have a seat and did sacrifices and performed atonement
verse 9 old way is not enough to atone consciousness, not until the new order comes, does not cleanse you
Until Christ brought the covenant
Christ’s blood clears our minds, not blood of goats and bulls, and obtained eternal redemption
Jesus released us from slavery of sin
verses 16-21, explained why new covenant not started yet, if was in Jesus will, not turn on until he dies
perfect animal put to death to take our place, blood means life
9:23 refers to 8:5
Jesus cleansed the copy and real tabernacle once and for all, no more annual meeting
Chapters 10
old laws not enough to cleanse, have to repent every year, a reminder of sin
Since blood of animals not enough to take away every sin, Jesus came and did a permanent sacrifice and sins removed forever
verses 9-10, contrast to verses 1-8
verses 11-18 showing priests as temporary, and Jesus is forever with the new Covenant
verses 22-25, why we are Christians push each other to grow and righteous by Jesus, enduring his presence
if Christians, even knowing Christ, continue to sin, there will be judgment of raging fire
Commit offense against Christ and Holy Spirit is unholy
Remember how we suffered as new Christians and face persecution and renew confidence
Those who shrink are destroyed
