“A Better Covenant”

Blessings folk!

Our Hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our High Priest.
Our Mediator.
A Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Now, more…

Heb 7:20-24

And inasmuch as it was not without an oath

(for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him,
“THE LORD HAS SWORN
AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND,
‘YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER’&rdquoWinking;

so much the more also Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing,

but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.


Priests inherited their position due to lineage…their genealogy.

Jesus did not.

He became a priest because Father swore and oath - “You are a Priest forever.”

Psa 110:1-4

A Psalm of David.
The LORD says to my Lord:
“Sit at My right hand
Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”

The LORD will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying,
“Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power;
In holy array, from the womb of the dawn,
Your youth are to You as the dew.

The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind,
“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”


Father has declared.
Jesus is a Priest forever.
Jesus is the guarantee of a better covenant.
Jesus continues forever.

A better covenant.
This is what we have.
Rejoice!
