1. Hebrews 8:1-13 A main point—so far –We have a forever High Priest No need of another Our High Priest was designated by God through oath His Priesthood is not only superior to the Aaronic but that of Melchizedek –His Priesthood is superior to anything known

2. –He has taken His Seat At the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens Hebrews 7:25 The very highest exaltation and honor possible His redemptive work is done Hebrews 10:11 “It is finished.” John 19:30 And for us a promise from Jesus Rev. 3:21 –In the true sanctuary—Holy of Holies Pitched by God not man The substance from which the pattern was taken

3. –A more excellent ministry Acts 7:55 –A mediator of a better covenant Enacted on better promises The old covenant was true –Unfortunately, full of faults –Another was needed and sought Made with –The house of Israel –The house of Judah –Promised by God through the prophet Jeremiah

4. –A covenant, like the first, made only with Israel –Different »Written on hearts not doorposts »Personal not taught Joshua 1:7-8 »Bringing mercy and an end to God’s remembrance of sin –When announced by God that there would be a new covenant »The old was being readied to disappear »The old was becoming obsolete »In less than 10 years from the writing of Hebrews all the shadow and copy were gone, as it is yet today
