Regardless of the format we use, worship for the Christian must involve heartfelt passion for our Lord. Exploring the subject of worship, Sinclair Ferguson draws out exciting and perhaps unexpected truth from Hebrews 2 and 8. It is Jesus Himself who draws us together as a family and leads us in our worship. As the Word of God is preached, it is also Jesus who speaks through the pastor’s words, meeting the needs of His people and accomplishing His kingdom purposes.
10For it twas fitting that he, ufor whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons vto glory, should make the wfounder of their salvation xperfect through suffering. 11For yhe who sanctifies and zthose who are sanctified aall have one source.2 That is why he is not ashamed to call them bbrothers,3 12saying,
c“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the dcongregation I will sing your praise.”
13And again,
e“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,
f“Behold, I and the children gGod has given me.”
14Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise hpartook of the same things, that ithrough death he might jdestroy kthe one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15and deliver all those who lthrough fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he mhelps the offspring of Abraham. 17Therefore he had nto be made like his brothers in every respect, oso that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest pin the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18For because he himself has suffered qwhen tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
