Hebrews 5
HebrewsSteve Gregg
In this presentation, Steve Gregg discusses the book of Hebrews and focuses specifically on chapter 5. He notes that the author of Hebrews later hints at the topic of Melchizedek in chapter 7, and suggests that this connection should be taken into consideration when interpreting chapter 5. While Hebrews 5 has traditionally been interpreted as a warning against spiritual immaturity, Gregg proposes that it may also be read as a statement about Jesus' priesthood according to the order of Melchizedek. Overall, Gregg encourages a careful and nuanced approach to interpreting Hebrews 5, and raises thought-provoking questions about its significance.
