Welcome everyone to EP 10 of The Higher Calling podcast! We left off in our last episode 9 talking about Chapter 6 discussing Christian perfection; difference between backsliding and being reprobate, and the hope of the heavenly calling which is the eternal reward for living a faithful life. Today we are preparing to review the 7th chapter of Hebrews. But in order to do it justice, we have to take another step back and talk about sacrifices and offerings, and the roles and responsibilities of a priest.
Before we are able to dig into it, there’s just so much background and critical importance about the topic of sacrifice, offerings, the priesthood, and how that relates to the New Testament church, that we’ll spend at least one podcast laying a foundation. So, one thing that you will need to do at some point is read for yourself Exodus chapter 28. And Leviticus chapter 10. There are a few chapters in Exodus where the temple is being prepared and Exodus chapter 28 is dedicated to Aaron and his sons, and how they are going to perform the work of the priesthood, the clothes they are going to wear, and symbols, types and shadows. Leviticus 10 really highlights the critical difference between a clean and unclean lifestyle. We’re going to break into this topic during the reign of Hezekiah that begins in 2 Chronicles chapter 29. We’re going to read this story first and then go through some highlights. That way when we get into Hebrews 7 we’ll have some vocabulary and understanding of what’s going on.
