Hebrews 6

Hebrews 6:1-10

Indoctrination: The Superior Priesthood of Jesus Christ – Hebrews 6:1 to Hebrews 10:18 places emphasis upon our indoctrination as a part of our need to persevere in the Christian faith. This passage of Scripture offers us a theological discourse unlike any other in the Holy Scriptures. In order to persevere Jesus Christ made access to God’s throne freely available to all believers, by which we are exhorted to grow and mature in our spiritual journey (Hebrews 6:1-8). The author supports this exhortation with a doctrinal discourse on the analogy of the priesthood of Melchizedek with that of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 6:9 to Hebrews 10:18). Outline – Here is a proposed outline:

1. 3rd Exhortation: Grow in Maturity — Hebrews 6:1-82. 3rd Doctrinal Discourse — Hebrews 6:9 to Hebrews 10:18

Hebrews 6:9-10

Third Doctrinal Discourse: The Superior Priesthood of Jesus Christ – The author then leads the Hebrews into a revelation of the priestly office of the Lord Jesus Christ (Hebrews 6:9 to Hebrews 10:18), which reveals the need for indoctrination in order to persevere in the faith. He begins his doctrinal discourse by reminding them of their sure hope and promise by God of receiving eternal life (Hebrews 6:9-20). Outline – Here is a proposed outline:

1. God’s Sure Promises in Christ Jesus — Hebrews 6:9-202. Jesus Offers Better Covenant Thru Superior Order — Hebrews 7:1 to Hebrews 10:18
