Hebrews 7:1-19
This weeks memory verse is Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)”
Here the writer is speaking to the Hebrew people; instructing them about the difference between the old Levitical Priesthood they knew so well and the new High Priest – Jesus Christ.
The Bible says Jesus, the High Priest, came “not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life….bringing in a better hope, through which we draw near to God.”
Jesus Christ died on the cross, three days later rose and sat at the right hand of the Father – became our High Priest; bringing us into a new covenant with God and being made righteous before God when we accept Christ into our hearts and seek forgiveness.
The New Covenant brings hope, a far contrast to the old.
