Week 7
Hebrews7
“The old order of priesthood has been set aside as weak and powerless. For the law has never made anyone perfect, but in its place is a far better hope which gives us confidence to experience intimacy with God! And he confirmed it to us with his solemn vow. For the former priests took their office without an oath, but with Jesus, God affirmed his royal-priesthood with his promise, saying, The Lord has made a solemn oath and will never change his mind, “You are a King-Priest forever!” So all of this magnifies the truth that we have a superior covenant with God than what they experienced, for Jesus himself is its guarantor! As additional proof, we know there were many priests under the old system, for they eventually died and their office had to be filled by another.”

It’s Guaranteed
The Good Housekeeping Seal
If you've ever seen it on the branding of something you're buying, that means it has been evaluated by the Good Housekeeping Institute and has proven to be something you can trust. As Good Housekeeping puts it, “We test it, so you can trust it.”
We have a better promise!
A new and perfect covenant that is blood bought and it’s guaranteed by our Savior, Jesus who sealed us with Holy Spirit!
Our High Priest took care of everything for us. This new and perfect covenant does not depend on us.
Whew!
This Blood Covenant of Grace administered by Jesus is a far better hope that should give us confidence to experience intimacy with God!
