Jesus our Perfect High Priest

A Sympathetic High Priest Un Sumo Sacerdote compasivo Hebrews 4:14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-- yet was without sin. 16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. R95 Hebreos 4:14 Por tanto, teniendo un gran sumo sacerdote que traspasó los cielos, Jesús el Hijo de Dios, retengamos nuestra profesión. 15 No tenemos un sumo sacerdote que no pueda compadecerse de nuestras debilidades, sino uno que fue tentado en todo según nuestra semejanza, pero sin pecado. 16 Acerquémonos, pues, confiadamente al trono de la gracia, para alcanzar misericordia y hallar gracia para el oportuno socorro.

A Suffering High Priest Un Sumo Sacerdote que sufre Hebrews 5:6 "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." 7 During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered 9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek. Hebreos 5:6 Como también dice en otro lugar: "Tú eres sacerdote para siempre, según el orden de Melquisedec". 7 Y Cristo, en los días de su vida terrena, ofreció ruegos y súplicas con gran clamor y lágrimas al que lo podía librar de la muerte, y fue oído a causa de su temor reverente. 8 Y, aunque era Hijo, a través del sufrimiento aprendió lo que es la obediencia; 9 y habiendo sido perfeccionado, vino a ser autor de eterna salvación para todos los que lo obedecen, 10 y fue declarado por Dios sumo sacerdote según el orden de Melquisedec.

Verse 19 is key NLT Hebrews 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, and now a better hope has taken its place. And that is how we draw near to God. RVA Hebreos 7:19 porque la ley no perfeccionó nada.
