Does the idea of Christ\u2019s crucifixion offend you and cause you to turn your eyes away? As one person said to me, \u201cI just don\u2019t get all the talk about blood and cross-carrying. I\u2019m looking for a more positive spirituality.\u201d Or perhaps you have heard the message of Christ\u2019s sacrifice and it has moved you to repent of your sins and believe? You\u2019ve understood the message of love that Christ\u2019s great sacrifice has put on display?<\/p>\n<p>His great love moved Him to make the greatest sacrifice in order to save those who believe in Him. For Jesus is greater and His sacrifice is greater. In Hebrews 9:15-28, the author told the Hebrew believers that the sacrifice of Christ is greater than the sacrifices of the old covenant. We can understand that the sacrifice of Christ is greater than the sacrifices of the old covenant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12807,"template":"","tags":[2019],"series":[2938],"scripture-book":[1325],"scripture-chapter":[1342],"speaker":[2007],"class_list":["post-12806","message","type-message","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-exposition","series-jesus-is-greater-an-exposition-of-hebrews","scripture-book-hebrews","scripture-chapter-1342","speaker-gary-combs"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message\/12806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/message"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message\/12806\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12808,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message\/12806\/revisions\/12808"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12806"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=12806"},{"taxonomy":"scripture-book","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/scripture-book?post=12806"},{"taxonomy":"scripture-chapter","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/scripture-chapter?post=12806"},{"taxonomy":"speaker","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garycombs.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/speaker?post=12806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
