Hey everyone I’m Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Australia.
This week we are continuing our series on Sunday nights titled “Jesus Christ as Our High Priest.”
The book of Hebrews isn’t the most popular book in the New Testament.
In many respects it is neglected.
The Jewish, or Old Testament, back ground that permeates every chapter has probably contributed to its neglect by many pastors.
The book of Hebrews portrays an exalted concept of Jesus Christ.
This week we are talking about,
Christ, Mediator of a Better Covenant.
Text
Hebrews 8:1-2 (ESV)
Jesus, High Priest of a Better Covenant
8 Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
2 a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man.
Introduction
A covenant is an agreement between two or more parties.
The Bible is built on two major covenants between God and humankind, the old and the new.
Hebrews 8 compares the two covenants.
Both were acceptable to God when He designated them to be applicable to humankind.
The prominent difference is that the old covenant was simply a shadow of the new covenant.
The mediator of the covenant of realism is Jesus Christ.
