Over the coming months and through our study of the book of Hebrews, we aim to meditate frequently on the glory of Jesus Christ. May our souls be revived by a constant view of his glory - in this book which invites us to consider Christ Jesus, the exalted Savior of weary pilgrims like us. This week we look to Hebrews 7:11-19.

The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” Psalm 110:4

“God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do.” Romans 8:3

Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed.So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith... Galatians 3:23-26

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.  And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Jeremiah 31:33-34

“The whole apparatus of worship… was calculated rather to keep men at a distance from God than to bring them near.” The result was a longing for something better—a priesthood that could truly accomplish what the old could only symbolize.” - F.F. Bruce
