     > A great sin-bearer was coming

          1. The Blood of the Old Covenant (18-22)

II. The Demand of Decisiveness (25-28)
     A. The Many Deaths of the Old Covenant 25-26a)

Next Steps:
     > Trust in the sufficiency of the first appearance of Christ! (Gal 4:4-5) This is our salvation! (Rom 8)
     > Rest in the reality of the present appearance of Christ. (Rom 8:12-39)
     > Eagerly await the certainty of the second appearance of Christ! (2 Peter 3:10-13) In light of that, we are to live holy godly lives.
