But Christianity-r-with no atoning sacrifice, no

"come back to the law of Moses, the religion of
theuC'fathers. : Such arguments, i addressed to
persons reared aa J ews, : wouid nave , a joweriui
effect. To meet all this, and restrain his breth-f
trpri from anostasv. the inspired writer of this
Epistle shows that while tlie law was spoken;
. through angels, in the gospel God has spoken to
US Dy 1113 OOUj 1 JlIU l IM OlHTCiiUi W VilO ttiiCiO.'
H tben the transgression of the tlawrwas justly;
punished, lio w shall we escape if we neglect the
' gospel, which had as fts first ground of superior
ity the fact that it was spoken through the Lord
Jesus, and was confirmed to ; ns I by them that
heard him, God ' uniting with them in bearing:
witness to it by many miracles.- Again,' while
- the law was established by Moses, Christ is as
mncn superior to Moses as a son of the family to:
a servant, yea, as the builder ofaouse to the
-houseitself. ?If therefore &om unbelief of the,
. teachings of Moses many failed to enter the rest
of Canaan, let ns beware lest through unbelief of
"the gospel we fail to enter the restUiatreniaineth
for the people of God.- And then as to the priest
hood, . Christianity has a priest, a great High-
. Priest. .. immeuselv superior to ; the Levitical
priesthood. -His office is held forever. He has
offered, once for all, the wonderful sacrifice of
himself, - which is forever sufficient. He. has
passed ttxongh the heavens into, the true sanct
uary, bearing his own precious atoning : blood.
.TJienChristiity is superior in allrespects to Ju
daism, that isf to athe Mosaic-dispeiisation if : re
garded . as complete in itself,; and designed to be
permanent; and so the sacred writer urges, his
brethren not to apostatize, . interspersing every
where throughout his arguments the most earnest
exhortations to hold fast their profession, the
most solemn warnings of the guilt and ruin of
apostasy. : And for us,as well as for them, grievr
ous is the guilt and hopeless the. ruin" of aban
" dohing tbe gospel of Christ, our . sole hope of
salvation. -
' Among the various arguments, he . adduces to
prove this superiority of Christ and Christianity,
. is that from which the text is an inference. The
tjfmtica.1 -nriesthood was held bv many persons
jn succession, "because they were not suffered to
continue by reason of death;" but Jesus, 4be
cause he contihtteth ever, hath an unchangeable
priesthood ; wherefore he is able to save them to
the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing
he ever liveth to make intercession - for ; them."
The phrase translated "to the uttermost" signi
fies "perfectly,'7 "completely" he can save com
pletely, can complete the salvation of -them that
come unto God through him. And the thought of
the text is that he is able to complete- their sal
eTation, because he ever lives to - intercede for
- '"them. ; - ??r. ?W:u
- Perhaps we af 6 accustomed : to look tod exclu-
sively to tiie Savior's atoning death, not' dwelling1
as we should upon the idea of hi3 interceding
life,4 ee how the 'Apostle speaks in Bomans s
Fof if, when we were enemies, we .were recon
ciled to God through the death of his Sonjjnuch
moreC being reconciled, we shall be saved' by his
life."- -And again : 4Christ that died, yea rather
is risen again, who is also at the right hand of
God, who also intercedes for us." He who loyed:
ns, and gave himself for us, ever lives to accom
plish the otjects for which he died; as the Medi-
0 atorial priest, he is ever interceding for the sal
- ration cf them that come unto God through him;
as the Mediatorial king, having all power . given
" unto Lira in: heaven and earth,: he control all
things so as to . carry .forward to completion the
1 work cf their salvation. . : ; - . ' - '
Ily Ircthren. it is just such a Savior that we
ccci. Troni the first moment when ve approach
t- G;lthrc: htim, onward through life, and in
a cert" :a jest f?cse onward without end, we con
tin"3lly reed God's mercy and grae for tho Sa-vi::'-

everi;-;. - ' - 3 f;r us, ad thes ca corn
ed, and that We might feel sure be does sympa
thize. Wherefore in all things it behooved him
to be made like uato his brethren, that he might;
be a mercilul and faithful High Priest in things
pertaining to God, to? make . atonement for the
sins of the people. - For in that he -himself " hath;
suffered, being. tempted,he is able to succor them
that are tempted.", And it is because of his aton
insr sacrifice and sympathizing intercession that
we are urged to hold fast our profession as Chris-!
tians, and encouraged to come to God with entire
confidence nit is in words that have been dear;
to tempted hearts in every;, age since the holy;
man of God spake them as he was moved by, the!
Holy Ghost. VSeejug, then,that ve have a great
lugh x nest that is passed mto tneneavens,tiesus,
the Son of God let us hold 'fast our protession.'
For we have not a Irish priest: whieh cannot be
touched with the feeling of our. infirmities, but,
was in all points tempted like as we are,yet with-;
out sin. Let us xhebepoee come boldly unto the
throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and
find grace to help in tame of need.? - - 1
