I don't know about y'all. It didn't take me long to be convinced that that's probably the way to go. It's a hard place to love. I'm looking forward to all this being resolved.

I don't know about y'all. But anyway, so this is now the point that he's making. So then verse 8.

Verse 8, although he was a son, he, oh, look at this. How can the health, wealth, and prosperity people read this? They must skip it. They probably don't unpack this a whole lot. Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. Raise your hand if you've learned a lot about God through suffering. Amen.

Why? Gets you focused on him, doesn't it? You're not real distracted. And so he says the example that Jesus was showing us was that we would learn obedience mainly through suffering.

Not a popular message, but you know what? You know why it helps me? It's what my wife spent five years laying out in the book after our youngest son died his earthly death. You know why this is comforting? Because now when I suffer, I know why.

He's not silent on this. Now, we may get to the point where we say i don't understand every detail of what god is doing because it's beyond my comprehension and there are things that i'm seeing years later after something from suffering that i go oh there's another thing but there's never been a moment that i could say in a time of difficulty i don't understand why we suffer he tells us why we suffer.

Here's one right here. To learn obedience. Paul says what? The thorn wasn't removed. Why? To keep him from being conceited.

He didn't say, hey, he won't remove this suffering from me, and I just don't know why. We talked about that back in our study of 2 Corinthians.

There's another why. It's all throughout Scripture. Please don't go around telling people that we don't know why we suffer.

So verse eight says that he has experienced the suffering of any man. God, the father did not shield him from suffering and he still remained completely God.

Hey, Jesus, I'm suffering. I've been there. I don't know how I can take another step. I understand. Now keep in mind, we talk a lot about emotional, but Jesus also understands physical suffering.

So when I don't feel well, you understand. I certainly do. So when I'm laying in hospital bed and I don't know if i'm gonna live you understand how that feels i do then he goes on to say in verse 9 and 10 look who's coming back again his exploits make him the perfect high priest.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. There went universalism right in the toilet, didn't it? So I guess everybody's not going to heaven. So I guess when Jesus paid the price, that didn't mean that just everybody's now in.

No, what he did is he provided us access to full righteousness. He gave us access to forgiveness. He gave us access to redemption. He provided the redemption, but if you reject it, you ain't going. I just said it right here. He was made perfect.

When am I casting my pearls before swine and wasting my time? And when am I teaching people that are willing to learn? And the writer of Hebrews is stopping right now saying, I'm ready to really unpack this, but I just realized y'all won't be able to understand it. And you should be able to by now. He's going to make that clear that he thinks they should be able to by now. And I want all of us to apply this to ourselves because I don't understand it.

You know, like, I don't know this world enough to give you a good analogy, but I have been there before. Have you ever been kind of working with something maybe at your house or something like that, and you're trying to get power to something, and it's not working, and you're messing around with the breakers, and you're doing all this kind of stuff, and you're plugging and unplugging and moving, and all of a sudden, whoop, the light comes on.

He's concerned. He said, you got to face, this is what he's saying. And this is what I want us to take from this today. Are y'all ready?

I'm trying to make this deep point about Melchizedek. I don't think y'all can handle it. I don't think you're going to be able to wrap your mind around it. And it is deep. Okay? And it is deep. But he's saying, in the state you're in right now you're sluggish that's what this word means in greek that we're saying dull you're sluggish you know what i mean when something runs smooth versus something running clunky you know what i mean like your engine's rattling versus that thing humming he said your faith is clunky it's sluggish and this is going to require you to be hitting on all cylinders.

It requires all the armor, all you not to play it in shorts. It requires all the armor, all the gear, and all the collision. So we had a guy come off the track team who was very athletic, but he'd never played football before. And so we went out and we went through what we all considered to be an extremely light practice, extremely light. And we were not full contact, but we were buttoned off. Do what that means just not taking everybody to the ground okay and some of those buttoned off you still got a little bit of a collision going and he'd never he'd never experienced that before it wouldn't like track and um so we went in and we were sitting down his locker was right next to mine and full contact was coming up thursday and this this would this is Tuesday and he takes his helmet off and he sits down I go man I hope it's not gonna be that rough every day and I said oh brother you're gonna hate Thursday and I looked at him and I said I don't think you have what it requires to play this game.

This does not sound very casual at all, does it? It's not casual at all. Here's those action words again. I get so sick and tired of people getting up, claiming they represent the Word of God, and never talking about, acting as if there's no action at all. There's so many things he's saying right now means take action. Now, certainly we can't, we're not talking about a works-based faith. I mean, a works-based faith. We're not talking about that. We're not talking about that I can work myself into being righteous. But I'm going to tell you what, when it gets to sanctification, there's an awful lot of action going on here. And listen to what he's saying, that this is a problem that they're behind on their duty. You know, one of the things that men never like to be told but this is what he's telling them you're derelict this is not something that is a suggestion this is your duty and you're not doing it and he and he goes on to say this they should be ready to teach but instead they keep needing someone to teach them not deep stuff don. Don't miss that. He said, I can't believe that I'm back on the basic oracles of God. My goodness, can we not move on?

And one of the things I try to do, you've heard me talk about this, is live in a spiritual twilight zone. What is that, Rick? Well, I got one foot in the light and I got one foot in darkness and I'm trying to make that work. I can dabble with darkness and still remain light but you ever seen the light at twilight can anybody see good it's pretty damn isn't it there's still some light there but it's dim and that's our faith when we try to put one foot in darkness and one foot in the light we are we are everybody looks at our what should be our light and all they see is twilight.

And so we don't make good decisions because we're not seeing anything clearly. That's why it can't happen. He says, another reason you can't do this is there's no way you can truly have the light of Christ and then dabble in darkness.
