Homilist Hebrews 7:14-24 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.… I. A HOPE FOR HOLINESS, NOT SALVATION, II. A HOPE THAT IS CERTAIN NOT ILLUSORY. Moral goodness is attainable for all. III. A HOPE THAT IS EXPANDING, NOT NARROWING. Directed to a common good — a good that cannot be monopolised — a good that is infinite as God. IV. A HOPE THAT IS OPERATIVE, NOV INACTIVE. It works benevolently, devoutly, unremittingly; works to purify and to bless. (Homilist.)
