Our Great High Priest

Text: Hebrews 4:14-16, Lord's Day 14
Many today who think of themselves as Christians doubt and even deny the truth of the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. Our Lord's virgin birth, however, is one of the essential truths of the Christian faith, for if Jesus is not both fully God and fully Man He cannot be our Mediator between God and man. This truth is taught in both our Scripture passage from Hebrews 4 and in our Catechism as well.

1. "Hold fast our confession."
2. "A High Priest … tempted as we are, yet without sin."
3. "Let us with confidence draw near to the throne of grace."
