“But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.” (Hebrews 8:6, KJV 1900) As a degreed Mechanical Engineer, I worked in machine design.

“Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;” (Hebrews 8:1, KJV 1900) Often may wife and I will watch mystery shows on the television.

“Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.” (Hebrews 7:27, KJV 1900) Certain things are better than others.

“This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant.” (Hebrews 7:22, ESV) What is my guarantee? Often in life, we will ask this question.

They were dissatisfied and when they attempted to getContinue reading “The Guarantee (Hebrews 7:22-28)”

“For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.” (Hebrews 7:12, KJV 1900) In anything it is difficult to make changes. I guess there are many reasons for this as people often resist change. However, even when they do not resist, change is still difficult. The reason isContinue reading “A Change in the Law (Hebrews 7:12-14)”

“If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?” (Hebrews 7:11, KJV 1900) There are many jobs in which there is little job satisfaction.Continue reading “Perfection (Hebrews 7:11-14)”

“Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.” (Hebrews 7:4, KJV 1900) When sports enthusiasts get together, they often talk about which player throughout history was the greatest.
