Chapter 8:
Everything said up to this point in Hebrews relates to Jesus!
HE IS Superior as High Priest of this new covenant because:
• He sits at God’s right hand (1). Priests never sat down (10:11), but Jesus does because it is finished! The right hand is also the place of ultimate power and Jesus has it!
• His sanctuary is superior (2-5). The one on earth is only a “copy”
The New Covenant (6) is Superior because:
• It is written by God (7-8) I will make a new covenant!
• It’s not legalistic (9).
• It’s internal & personal, not external (10-11)
• It brings total forgiveness (12)
• It is for now (13)
SO WHAT?!
*Knowledge of God is not the same as Knowing God. We can know a lot of facts about someone and still not have a relationship with them. Lets spend time getting to know God personally – He’s worth it!
*Forgiveness is an awesome thing! Both giving it and receiving it! Is there someone today you need to show forgiveness to? Ask forgiveness from? Don’t delay in enjoying the freedom there is in both forgiving and being forgiven!
