1. God became flesh for many reasons, but those reasons all pertain to things of God, for the propitiation of sins of the people.
2. Christ suffered and that means, He died to propitiate for the sins of the people. He made complete satisfaction for them.
3. He alone was uniquely qualified to make payment of sins-because as sinners we do not have the means to ransom ourselves out of sin, death and condemnation.
4. The gospel question is-what shall a man give in exchange for their soul? There is a transaction to be had if salvation has to happen. What is that transaction that God has sanctioned for salvation?
5. Christ Jesus, the High Priest partook flesh and blood-just like the children He came to redeem, but without sin that He may be qualified to represent His people in all things salvation.
6. By taking human flesh He entered into the human experience-being tempted in all things just like us-but without sin. Therefore He is able to come to the aid of those who are being tempted.
7. This is a glorious gospel message-if you have time to spare for wonderful things about Christ.

Great Sermon! Jesus is our Pioneer and the only one acquainted with our sin, who, Himself, was tempted, yet without sin. We need a merciful High Priest and a perfect sacrifice to come before God and the only one who is qualified and able is Jesus Christ our Lord. Wonderful testimony of the Priesthood of Christ.
