Our Sympathetic High Priest

Summary

Elder Michael Goans preaches on Hebrews chapter 5, emphasizing Jesus Christ as our sympathetic high priest who shares in human weakness, is divinely called, and trained through experience. He explains that Jesus, unlike Old Testament priests, is not from the tribe of Levi but fulfills the priesthood after the order of Melchizedek. The sermon highlights Christ's compassion for sinners, his real humanity, and his ability to sympathize with our infirmities because he was tempted and suffered as we do, yet without sin. Believers are encouraged to approach Jesus boldly, knowing he understands their struggles and intercedes for them.
