Hebrews 4:14–5:10

summary
The writer returns to his point stated earlier in 2:17-3:1 that Jesus has become our great high priest. Because Jesus was a man he can represent us, sympathize with us, and be our model.

key verse
4:15-16 We do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
