Jesus Guarantees the Better Covenant

Hebrews 7:18-28

Purpose: Why would you choose useless imperfection, when you could have eternal perfection?

1. Not Useless Law, But a Better Hope! (7:18-21)

The Law made nothing perfect (v. 19)

Jesus brings “a better hope, through which we draw near to God” (v. 19)

Psalm 110:4

2. Not Ending in Death, But Alive Forever! (7:22-25)

          Jesus is “the guarantee of a better covenant” (v. 22)

          Human priests die (v. 23)

          Jesus “abides forever,” never to die again (v. 24; Rom 6:9)

          Because Jesus is alive forever, He is:

                     A Priest forever (v. 21; Ps 110:4)

                     Able to save you forever (v. 24)

                     Always lives to make intercession for you (v. 25)

3. Not Weak Men, But the Perfect Son Forever! (7:26-28)

          Jesus, the Perfect High Priest is:

                     Holy

                     Innocent

                     Undefiled

                     Separated from sinners

                     Exalted above the heavens

                     Offered Himself once for all!

                     Made perfect forever

Draw near to God in Jesus Christ who guarantees the better covenant of eternal life!
