Apples of Gold
Radio Script for August 18, 2010
“If You Want to Learn About Jesus”
Hello, I’m Doug Apple…with Apples of Gold.
If you want to learn about Jesus, yes, read the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
But there is another book that is loaded with information about Jesus, and that’s the book of Hebrews.
And now let me share with you everything I learned about Jesus from the book of Hebrews (the New King James Version).
Jesus is the Son of God. (4:14)
He is the express image of God’s person. (1:3)
Jesus is the brightness of God’s glory. (1:3)
God made the worlds through Jesus. (1:2)
Jesus upholds all things by the word of His power. (1:3)
God appointed Jesus heir of all things. (1:2)
God has spoken to us by His Son. (1:2)
Jesus became flesh and blood. (2:10)
He came to do the will of God. (10:9)
He arose from the tribe of Judah. (7:14)
He suffered when he was tempted. (2:18)
Jesus was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. (4:15)
Jesus loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. (1:9)
Jesus is holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners. (7:26)
He endured hostility from sinners. (12:3)
He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. (5:8)
Jesus was made perfect through sufferings. (2:10)
In the days of His flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to God. (5:7)
Jesus is the Mediator of the new covenant. (9:15, 12:24)
He is Mediator of a better covenant, an eternal covenant, established on better promises. (8:6, 13:20)
Jesus became a surety of a better covenant. (7:22)
Jesus offered up Himself once for all for the sins of the people. (7:27)
He endured the cross, despising the shame. (12:2)
He tasted death for everyone. (2:9)
Jesus died to destroy the devil. (2:14)
Through the eternal Spirit, Jesus offered Himself without spot to God. (9:14)
Jesus entered heaven itself, to appear in the presence of God for us. (9:24)
With His own blood Jesus entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. (9:12)
Jesus sanctified the people by His own blood. (13:12)
He made propitiation for the sins of the people. (2:17)
He put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. (9:26)
By the will of God, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (10:10)
Jesus was offered once to bear the sins of many. (9:28)
He offered one sacrifice for sins forever. (10:12)
Jesus purged our sins. (1:3)
By one offering Jesus has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. (10:14)
The blood of Christ cleanses our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. (9:14)
Jesus became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. (5:9)
Jesus is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. (7:25)
Jesus was called by God as High Priest. (5:10)
He is a merciful and faithful high priest. (2:17)
He is a high priest who can sympathize with our weaknesses. (4:15)
Jesus is the apostle and high priest of our confession. (3:1)
He is a High Priest who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens. (8:1)
He has an unchangeable priesthood. (7:24)
He is High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. (6:20)
Jesus is a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected. (8:2)
God brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead. (13:20)
Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. (1:3)
He sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (12:2)
He was crowned with glory and honor. (2:7)

His throne is forever and ever. (1:8)
All things are in subjection under the feet of Jesus. (2:8)

He is worthy of more glory than Moses. (3:3)
He has a more excellent name than the angels. (1:4)
He is higher than the heavens. (7:26)
Jesus is the great Shepherd of the sheep. (13:20)
He is the author and finisher of our faith. (12:2)
To those who eagerly wait for Him, Jesus will appear a second time. (9:28)
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (13:8)
Yes, that’s a lot of information about Jesus. And that’s why I say, if you want to learn about Jesus, make sure you read through the book of Hebrews.

(Proverbs 25:11 – “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.”)
Why “The Arrow’s Tip”? Each morning, after diligently seeking the Lord, I write Apples of Gold. Then before I release it to the public I pray one final prayer, “Lord, send forth your arrows.” I envision Apples of Gold as arrows, tips dipped in the river of the water of life that flows from the throne of God (Rev. 22:1), sailing toward the hearts and minds of men and women around the world.
