讨论问题

以下是课堂引导讨论部分建议使用的问题。也提供了对问题的建议回答，以帮助学生理解各个概念。这些仅为辅助讨论而设，不被视为“对错”答案。

1. Answer the following questions from Hebrews 10:1-4:

What would be the result of the Old Testament sacrifices had they been sufficient?

It would have cleansed the consciouses of the worshippers and the people would no longer need to offer sacrifices.

How is the Law described and why is this significant?

The Law was a shadow (an image, not the very form) of good things to come. If it is a shadow, then it is inferior to what was to come. It was only a reflection, not the actual thing itself.

How does the writer describe the sacrifices in verses 3-4?

They reminded one of sins each year because they did not take away sins.

2. What does David express as the essential truth about spiritual life and how does this apply to our spiritual lives today? (Psalms 40:6-10; Psalms 51:16-17).

Obedience to God's will and a humble heart are what God desires over sacrifices. Jesus' sacrifice was according to God's will. Jesus was willing to sacrifice Himself as a perfect sacrifice. With His sacrifice, there is now no need for the continuance of the animal sacrifices from before. This sacrifice was made on our behalf and removed our sins and enables us to stand clean/acceptable before God.

3. How does the author compare Christ's priesthood to the Levitical priesthood (Hebrews 10:11-18)?

The Levitical priests continued to offer sacrifices but for no reason except to remind the people of sin and the punishment for it. Jesus, however, as a perfect sacrifice, and according to God's will, offered a final sacrifice and is now seated with God in a position of honor and authority. No other sacrifice remains. Jesus, as our High Priest, presents us before God.

4. What is the ultimate end of God's work among His people? (Hebrews 10:15-17)

A new covenant (better promise) with intimate knowledge of Him and His will. We are now able to go to Him directly. We are now serving God as priests offering ourselves as sacrifices that are acceptable to God. We do this by offering our praise, thanksgiving, service and prayers to God through Christ our Lord!

5. How can you use this lesson to grow spiritually and help others come into a relationship with Jesus?

As followers of Christ, we receive full forgiveness of our sins because of His sacrifice. Since sin is removed through Him, and only through Him, no other sacrifice is acceptable or needed. This forgiveness allows us to stand before God continuously cleansed of our sins (I John 1:5-10).
