Is Christ Able to Relate? (Hebrews 5:1-10)

Christ is God and man. Christ took on human flesh, lived a perfect life, and now is in glory. We are earthlings from the dirt, we are fallen, and we are by no means perfect. We are works in progress suffering and struggling through this world. In fact, Hebrews communicates that we are in the wilderness time of testing. This is all true, and somehow Christ is a priest who really knows our struggle. He knows this struggle without sin. How can Christ really know us when he is God and man joined together in one person? How can Christ be a credible priest when he resides in heaven? Hebrews affirms these truths, but also assures us that Christ is a superior priest.

Exhorted to Worship (Hebrews 10:25)

The people who receive the message from Hebrews seem to be struggling to keep their faith.  The author in Hebrews exhorts them to keep their faith.  Why would they want to keep their faith?  What does worship have to do with them keeping their faith?  How can such an old exhortation still be relevant today?
