Hebrews 5

Hebrews
{5:1} For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: {5:2} Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.{5:3} And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. {5:4} And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as [was] Aaron. {5:5} So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. {5:6} As he saith also in another [place,] Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. {5:7} Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; {5:8} Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; {5:9} And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;{5:10} Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.{5:11} Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.{5:12} For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which [be] the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. {5:13} For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.{5:14} But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Ordained for men in things pertaining to God.
Offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
He that is called of God.
We know throughtout the Bible God called various men and woman to His work in a special way. These weren't the only ones called- those written about. There are many called of God in fact we are all called by God to come to Him, to fellowship with Him, to follow Him.
In the Old Testament prior to Christ's birth, life, and death, there are kings, prophets, and priests God used, speaking though many of them. In the New Testament we are given Jesus the great High Priest, Son of God, King of Kings, prophesying of the world to come.
Jesus who was given the infirmaties of being lowered into human form taking on our likeness and our inherited propensity to sin is the Greatest High Priest ever called by God. He sacrificed His glory and took on flesh, He sacrficed life eternal to take on a body of death, a body of daily decay. Outwardly He had the appearance of an ordinary man He lowered Himself to that level, to our level.
Any who doubt Jesus wasn't touched by our infirmities needs to explain how He could cry, how he could cry heartbrokenly. If He weren't moved by our plight, if he didn't have our human flesh encompassing Him, He wouldn't have cried and Jesus cried more than once from the depths of His heart He cried. He cried until blood fell from his forehead to the ground. He cried for all humanity. His grief was for us, for our pain, for what we endure.
We suffer the chastisment of the Lord over and over as He teaches us, guides us, reminds us of humanity and the love we must have for all. Christ suffered and learned in human form the obedience to His Father.
Obeying His Father perfectly, Christ was able to offer us eternal salvation if we obey Him.
All too often people harden their hearts and refuse to hear. All too often the very men of God, those claiming to be called of Him need to be as babes to truly understand Christ's message for them. When we think so many should be able to have the strong meat of the gospel, in truth many are babes needing to be treated as babes to regain the first principles of the message of our Lord and Savior.
Strong meat given by the Lord to those who have already drank the milk and are now ready for more... ready to have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
We need to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord.
2 Pet. {3:18} But grow in grace, and [in] theknowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him[be] glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
