Continuing our study of the descriptors of Jesus in the book of Hebrews, we turn our attention to chapter seven of Hebrews once again, this time looking at this complex chapter through the lens of how Jesus makes things BETTER!

Hebrews 7 gives us the following argument:

• The prophets established that there would be another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek (Heb. 5:6, 10; 6:20; 7:11, 15, 17).
• This was necessary because …
  • a better priesthood was needed (7:1-10); and
  • a better law was needed (7:11-28, especially verse 18).
• Jesus gives us …
  • a better priesthood than the Levitical priesthood (Hebrews 7:7),
  • a better hope than the Law could provide (7:19), and
  • a better covenant than the old covenant (7:22).
