Thematic Bible: Appointed and called by God


Thematic Bible




And no one takes on himself the honor [of head priest], but [he is appointed only] when he is called by God, as was the case with Aaron. So, Christ also did not take on Himself the honor of becoming head priest, but God said to Him [Psa. 2:7], "You are my Son; today I have conceived you."

Therefore, holy brothers [and sisters], who have been called [by God] to share in heaven, think about Jesus, the Apostle and Head Priest, whom we have confessed [as Savior]. He was faithful to God who appointed Him, just as Moses was [also] faithful in [serving] God's household [i.e., the Israelites].

And no one takes on himself the honor [of head priest], but [he is appointed only] when he is called by God, as was the case with Aaron. So, Christ also did not take on Himself the honor of becoming head priest, but God said to Him [Psa. 2:7], "You are my Son; today I have conceived you."
