Andrew Baker | Hebrews 8:1-13; Luke 22:20; Acts 15; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, 11:2; John 14:1-4; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 19:7-9; Ephesians 5:32 — Having explained Jesus’ superiority to the Levitical Law, the writer to the Hebrews describes His mediation of the promised ‘new’, ‘better’ covenant between God and His people. Mirroring the traditional Jewish wedding covenant, Jesus declares His faithful, profound and jealous love for us through the highest price of His blood, all that we might respond with passionate devotion to Him.
