The rituals of the Old Covenant, any religious ritual for that matter, cannot clear our conscience. Rituals cannot make us righteous. Temporary rituals done by finite people have limits, but today we see why Jesus can offer us eternal redemption.

The writer of Hebrews guides his audience on a tour from the Holy place to the Most Holy Place of the tabernacle. It was in the Most Holy Place that the presence of God dwelt in the Old Covenant.

Jesus is a better priest because of where he sits and where he serves. Today we will see why the structures and offices of the old covenant was always intended to point forward to something better, and how the ministry of Jesus gives us hope and security.

Jesus is better than any way we may attempt to reach God on our own because Jesus is eternal. We have hope because the work of Jesus endures as long as his ministry--that means forever and that's a mighty long time.

As the writer of Hebrews continues to compare Jesus and Melchizedek, he shows us that Jesus is better than any way we may try to get to God on our own because of the power of his indestructible life.

The writer of Hebrews returns to the comparison of Jesus with Melchizedek. Today we will see how Jesus' is a better than any attempt humans can have to reach God on their own.

Life is full of all kinds of uncertainty, and God graciously reaches into that uncertainty to offer us a promise so that we will have confidence and certainty in the face of what is unknown. Today we look at the hope and assurance that Jesus offers his people.

After issuing a stern warning about falling away the writer of Hebrews offers encouragement about the confidence that he has in the faith of those Christians. Through his encouragement, we are given some signs to look for in our lives of evidence of genuine faith.
