The Perfect | Selected Sermon | Mahlon LeCroix

What happens when the religious systems we rely on to get close to God prove to be "weak and useless" in actually saving us from our sins? This sermon uses the vivid analogy of a radiologist versus an orthopedic surgeon to explain why the law can diagnose our spiritual brokenness but only a "perfect" high priest can provide the actual cure. By examining the mysterious order of Melchizedek, we discover why Jesus’ priesthood is superior to any earthly system, grounded in an indestructible life and a permanent, divine promise. Ultimately, listeners are challenged to trade the exhausting cycle of religious "good works" for an intimate relationship with the one who has already fulfilled every requirement of the law on our behalf. www.shoalcreekbaptist.org
