Summary: MODELING CHRIST

INTEGRITY

INTRODUCTION: (WEBSTER DICTIONARY) FIRM ADHERENCE TO A CODE OF ESPECIALLY MORAL OR ARTISTIC VALUE (INCORRUPTIBILITY), AN UNIMPAIRED CONDITION (SOUNDNESS), THE QUALITY OR STATE OF BEING COMPLETE OR UNDIVIDED (COMPLETENESS)

SPIRITUAL INSIGHT: CHRIST IS THE PERFECT MODEL OF INTEGRITY. HEBREWS 4:15 (NASB) READS, FOR WE DO NOT HAVE A HIGH PRIEST WHO CANNOT SYMPATHIZE WITH OUR WEAKNESSES, BUT ONE WHO HAS BEEN TEMPTED IN ALL THINGS AS WE ARE, YET WITHOUT SIN. THE LIVING BIBLE (PARAPHRASE) READS, THIS HIGH PRIEST OF OURS UNDERSTANDS OUR WEAKNESSES, SINCE HE HAD THE SAME TEMPTATIONS WE DO, THOUGH HE NEVER ONCE GAVE WAY TO THEM AND SINNED.

HEBREWS 7:26 (NASB) FOR IT WAS FITTING FOR US TO HAVE SUCH A HIGH PRIEST, HOLY, INNOCENT, UNDEFILED, SEPARATED FROM SINNERS AND EXALTED ABOVE THE HEAVENS.

HEBREWS 7:28 (NASB) FOR THE LAW APPOINTS MEN AS HIGH PRIESTS WHO ARE WEAK, BUT THE WORD OF THE OATH, WHICH CAME AFTER THE LAW, APPOINTS A SON, MADE PERFECT FOREVER.

CHRIST IS BETTER THAN ANGELS, BETTER THAN MOSES, BETTER THAN THE AARONIC PRIESTHOOD, AND BETTER THAN THE LAW, FOR HE ESTABLISHED A NEW COVENANT (HEBREWS 12:24).

APPLICATION: CHRIST IS YOUR PERFECT MODEL OF INTEGRITY: MODEL HIM!
