3 Hebrews 8:1 (NLT) 8 Here is the main point: We have a High Priest who sat down in the place of honor beside the throne of the majestic God in heaven.

4 Jesus is a superior priest because of His seat
Jesus is a superior priest because of His seat. Hebrews 10:11-12 “Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. 12 But our High Priest Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.”

5 Jesus came. along, offered. one sacrifice,. said, “That's it
Jesus came along, offered one sacrifice, said, “That's it It is, finished," and sat down He sat down "on the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens.”

6 Hebrews 8:2 (NLT) 2 There he ministers in the heavenly Tabernacle, the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands.

8 Hebrews 8:3-5 (NLT) 3 And since every high priest is required to offer gifts and sacrifices, our High Priest must make an offering, too. 4 If he were here on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there already are priests who offer the gifts required by the law. 5 They serve in a system of worship that is only a copy, a shadow of the real one in heaven. For when Moses was getting ready to build the Tabernacle, God gave him this warning: “Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.”

10 Hebrews 8:6 (NLT) “But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for He is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises.”

11 “Mediator” or “mesites” is derived from mesos, which means in the middle.

14 The Covenant with Noah Genesis 9:11-16 (NLT) 11 Yes, I am confirming my covenant with you. Never again will floodwaters kill all living creatures; never again will a flood destroy the earth.” 12 Then God said, “I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come. 13 I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth. 14 When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds, 15 and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life. 16 When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.”

16 The Covenant with Abraham Genesis 12:1-3 (NLT) 12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”

17 Genesis 17:19 (NLT) 19 But God replied, “No—Sarah, your wife, will give birth to a son for you. You will name him Isaac, and I will confirm my covenant with him and his descendants as an everlasting covenant. We can follow God’s covenant promise from Noah to Abraham to Isaac and then to his son Jacob, who had 12 sons, one of whom is Joseph.

18

19 The Covenant with Moses Exodus 2:24-25 (NLT) 24 God heard their groaning, and he remembered his covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 25 He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act.

20

21 Leviticus 26:44-45 (NLT) 44 “But despite all this, I will not utterly reject or despise them while they are in exile in the land of their enemies. I will not cancel my covenant with them by wiping them out, for I am the Lord their God. 45 For their sakes I will remember my ancient covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of all the nations, that I might be their God. I am the Lord.”

24 The Covenant with David 2 Samuel 7:12-13 (NLT) 12 For when you die and are buried with your ancestors, I will raise up one of your descendants, your own offspring, and I will make his kingdom strong. 13 He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for my name. And I will secure his royal throne forever.

25

26 Psalm 89:3-4, 28 (NLT) 3 The Lord said, “I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant. I have sworn this oath to him: 4 ‘I will establish your descendants as kings forever; they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.’” 28 I will love him and be kind to him forever; my covenant with him will never end.

27

28 Luke 1:67-73 (NLT) 67 Then his father, Zechariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and gave this prophecy: 68 “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has visited and redeemed his people. 69 He has sent us a mighty Savior from the royal line of his servant David, 70 just as he promised through his holy prophets long ago. 71 Now we will be saved from our enemies and from all who hate us. 72 He has been merciful to our ancestors by remembering his sacred covenant— 73 the covenant he swore with an oath to our ancestor Abraham.

29 Hebrews 8:7-13 (NTL) 7 If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it.

30 8 But when God found fault with the people, he said: “The day is coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant

31 Covenant: Deafece—a will Sunfece—on an equal basis

32 8 But when God found fault with the people, he said: “The day is coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.

33

35 9 This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of the land of Egypt. They did not remain faithful to my covenant, so I turned my back on them, says the Lord. 10 But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

36

37 11 And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already.

38 4-5

39 12 And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”

40

41 13 When God speaks of a “new” covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear. (Hebrews 8:7-13 is a direct quote from Jeremiah 31:31-33)
