 Jesus the Great High Priest

Hebrews 5:1-9

Here we hear again that Jesus can understand 

our earthly challenges since he experienced these 

temptations and weaknesses himself.

A human high priest must be able to have compassion

 for his people,

and because Jesus was fully human 

he could accept this role.

He is the author and perfecter of our faith. 

verse 7-8  Speaks to the Prayers and Supplications 

that Jesus offered up to His Father.

He was heard because of his reverance, 

but the cup of death couldn't be removed from him. 

"The ancient Greek word for supplications is hiketeria. 

This word means "an olive branch wrapped in wool"

 because that is what the ancient Greek held 

and waved to express their desperate parade read desire. 

Significantly, this supplication of Jesus took place

 in a garden of olives- 

and He supplies the "wool," being the Lamb of God."

Enduring Word Commentary

I think I really like that reference 

for the term supplication,

it brings new meaning to my time 

in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives.
