Hebrews 8

8
Jesus Our High Priest
1#Heb 1:3; Col 3:1Now this is the main point of the things that we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2a minister in the sanctuary and the true tabernacle, which the Lord, not man, set up.
3#Heb 5:1; Eph 5:2For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this priest also have something to offer. 4For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests that offer gifts according to the law. 5#Ex 25:40; Col 2:17They serve in a sanctuary that is an example and shadow of the heavenly one, as Moses was instructed by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”#–6 Pr 3:11–12. 6#Heb 7:22; 12:24; 2Co 3:6–11But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, because He is the Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
7#Heb 7:11; 7:18For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no occasion would have been sought for a second. 8#Jer 31:31–34; Lk 22:20For finding fault with them, God says:
“Surely the days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,
9#Dt 5:2–3; Jer 31:32 not according to the covenant
that I made with their fathers
in the day when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt;
because they did not continue in My covenant,
and I rejected them, says the Lord.
10#Jer 31:33; 2Co 3:3 This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put My laws into their minds
and write them on their hearts;
and I will be their God,
and they shall be My people.
11#Isa 54:13; Jn 6:45; 1Jn 2:27 No longer shall every man teach his neighbor,
and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for all shall know Me,
from the least of them to the greatest.#Isa 54:13.
12#Ro 11:27; Isa 43:25 For I will be merciful toward their unrighteousness,
and their sins and their lawless deeds Iwill remember no more.”
13#2Co 5:17In speaking of a new covenant He has made the first one old. Now that which is decaying and growing old is ready to vanish away.
