Carta a los Hebreos 2:9

In this final plan in the Songs of Praise Series, join Dr. Mark Rae to look at a psalm that may summarize all the others: Psalm 8. In its nine wonderful verses, we see David extol and praise God in all His glory; God’s plan for creation in His Son; and renewed praise for who God is.

This plan will explore what the letter of Hebrews can teach us in four different areas. 1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature 2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or followers of Jesus 3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines 4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action

While the Old Testament priest advocated for the people before God, he was still a sinner. Christ, on the other hand, is our sinless high priest who has nevertheless walked in our shoes, experienced our temptations, and felt an earned and complete sympathy for us. He is not only priest but sacrifice, purchasing our forgiveness; and not only does He forgive, but His Spirit transforms us. He is indeed a Great High Priest!

In this five-day devotional, read Scripture alongside passages adapted from Labor With Hope: Gospel Meditations on Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood by Gloria Furman that speak of limitless power and strength that Christ offers to all who rely on him, enabling women to truly labor with hope.
