We plan to consider Five Accomplishments of our Lord made in the one act of becoming as much man as He was God. By dying His sacrificial death for humanity on the cross of Calvary, Christ became:
1) Our Substitute
2) Our Salvation's Author
3) Our Sanctifier
4) Our Satan Conqueror
5) Our Sympathizer

The theme of the letter to the Hebrew converts who were struggling with their call to give up all their past traditions and practices was simply that Christ is better than the prophets, angels, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, and the levitical priest. Jesus and the new order (covenant) are contrasted with all that has gone before Him, and His superiority is declared.  

We will see in Hebrews 2:9-18 that our perfect Savior was the only One who could have done what He did to atone for the sins of the world, "For Christ suffered once for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit" (1 Peter 3:18). "I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through obedience, then Christ died in vain" (Galatians 22:1). I simply am overwhelmed when I ponder His love for me. My sin was going to require my death but His great love motivated Him to be the solution for my dilemma; He died my death for me.

I cannot wait to celebrate Palm Sunday with you.

In Christ,
Pastor Todd
