Bearing His Reproach
Intro
A. THE BELIEVER’S STRENGTH (v. 9).
1) Don’t be carried away by varied and strange teachings.
2) Get strength from grace not food.
B. THE BELIEVER’S ALTAR (vv. 10-12).
1) We have an altar (v. 10).
2) Sacrifices for sin must be burned outside the camp (v. 11).
3) Christ suffered outside the camp (v. 12).
C. THE BELIEVER’S RESPONSE (vv. 13-14).
1) Let us go outside the camp (v. 13).
2) Let us bear His reproach (v. 13).
3) Let us seek the city to come (v. 14).
Conclusion
Discussion: Why is it difficult to go outside the camp? Are there areas in your life in which you need to prayerfully seek God’s grace to leave? Have you ever had to bear His reproach? How did you respond? How does a focus on the city to come affect our going outside the camp?
