Hebrews 5
For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. 3 Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as he does for those of the people. 4 And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,
“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”;
6 as he says also in another place,
“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus[a] offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 10 being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
Warning Against Apostasy
11 About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, 13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. 14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

Taking His yoke November 8th
“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart,and you will find rest for your souls.”MATTHEW11:29
The yoke is what is laid upon two oxen. How those oxen respond to that yoke makes all the difference. They can resist the yoke, rubbing against it, trying to break away from it. Then the yoke is harsh. It is bitter. It hurts. But if the oxen simply submit to the yoke, all is well. What is the yoke? The yoke is what God has put on you. He has prepared a unique yoke for you. It may be your husband, your wife, your children, or your finances. The yoke is the will of God in our experience.
How we respond to the yoke that God puts on us will make all the difference in how much our self will get dealt with. Whether or not we take up the yoke — the calamities, the whirlwinds, the unexpected things that the Lord sends — determines whether our self gets dealt with or remains intact. To take up this yoke means to willingly accept the environment. This is crucial. In Psalm 40:8 the Lord says through David in spirit, “I delight to do Your will, O my God.” This means that we do not hold any reservation toward God and what He has allowed. We do not hold the view that there is something better that could be measured out to us, or that God could work in a different way. No! No! No! A thousand times no! Your dear wife is the best that God could send you. Your husband is the best that you could have. The brothers and sisters you serve with are the best. Everything is the best that it could be.The Lord says, “Take My yoke.” It is what He has laid “upon you.” Take it upon you. And after you have taken it, He says, “Learn from Me.” He is saying, “Stay under it and start consulting with Me now. You are under the yoke. Do not resist it. Do not try to get out of it. Take it. Accept it absolutely, just as I took the yoke. I said, ‘ThankYou, Father,for the rejection. Praise You for the insults,and praise You for the lack of response. Praise You for everything against Me, Father. You are Lord of heaven and earth. Thank You. It seemed good in Your sight’ ” (Matt. 11:25-26). The Lord took the yoke and praised and thanked the Father for it. Now we take the yoke upon us and begin learning from Him.
