  Hebrews chapter 5 begins by explaining that every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent them before god. The high priest offers gifts and sacrifices for sins on behalf of the people, and he is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and wayward because he himself is subject to weaknesses. The Scriptures then explains that Jesus Christ was also appointed by God to be a high priest, and he is able to sympathize with our weaknesses because he has been tempted in every way, just as we are.

It urges us to persevere in faith, reminding us that tho
