This week’s passage:  Hebrews 5:1-10

Explore (Digging in to understand the passage)
  • What characteristics of earthly priests are listed in verses 1-4? Which of them does Jesus share?
  • Who was Melchizedek? (See Genesis 14:18-20)
  • What differences are there between the order of Aaron and the order of Melchizedek?
  • What loud cries and prayers did Jesus offer during his time on earth? How do we know that God heard him? (See Luke 22:39-44)
  • What do the words, "being made perfect" mean in verse 9? How do they relate to Jesus' "learning obedience" in verse 8?

Connect (Applying the passage to our lives)
  • Why is it hard for many people to trust the love of God? How might Jesus' faithful priesthood be helpful in helping them understand?
