The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed in Hebrews 4:14; with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

We have been looking into the "Believers Rest or the Saint's Eternal Rest," now we shall carry this a step farther to include Jesus our High Priest of this rest. Our last statement was, the Scriptures reveal GOD's resolve to display his image and likeness in humanity, now lets see what is stated here.


Hebrews 4:14-16 "Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (KJV)

Hebrews 4:14-16 "Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (ESV)

Hebrews 4:14-16 "In the message of the incarnation, we have Jesus the Son of GOD representing humanity in the highest place of spiritual authority. That which GOD has spoken to us through him as his final word. It is echoed now in our conversations. As High Priest he fully identifies with humanity in the context of our frail human lives. Having subjected it to close scrutiny, he proved that the human frame was master over sin. His sympathy with humanity is not to be seen as excusing our inherited flesh weaknesses which are the result of a faulty design, but rather as a trophy to humanity. (He is not an example for us but of us.) For this reason we can approach the authoritative Throne of Grace with bold utterances. We are welcome there in his embrace, and are [1]reinforced with immediate effect in times of trouble. (The word, [1, G996] boetheia, means to be reinforced, specifically a rope of three breads, or a chain for frapping a vessel in a storm.)

(In his incarnate human body Jesus represented our humanity on the deepest possible scale or level of every detail of our lives, spirit, soul and body. He victoriously faced every onslaught and scrutiny that we would ever possibly encounter.) (The Mirror, with editing.)

I had thought about adding the first portion of chapter 5 but changed my mind. May the LORD increase our understanding and knowledge of his revelation.
