Bible Reading: Heb. 8: 1 - 6
Topic: The Superior Priesthood of Jesus Christ
Today, the writer
continues to prove the Superiority of Jesus' Priesthood over that of Aaron.
Yesterday, he declared
Jesus Christ "a Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek"
His Sanctuary is the
Throne of Grace. There is something special about this Sanctuary. It is a place
of true and spiritual worship, a ground of solution in times of troubles and a
prototype of God's Sanctuary in Heaven (Ex. 25: 9, 40) but Jesus lives and
intercedes for His people in the Real Sanctuary, of which Aaron's is only a
type.
Jesus has a more excellent
Ministry based on a better Covenant which establishes better promises.
The Ministry is the one
that brings life out of death, hope out of hopelessness and makes
impossibilities possible.
His is a Covenant of mercy
and grace which reveals God's Heart for lost humanity. It provides the hope of
resurrection, rapture of and reward for the saints.
You can be part of these
promises of you have accepted this Superior High Priest and Saviour into your
life.
If you have not, please
stop all you are doing right now and take that important step so that you can
partake of these promises both here and for all eternity.
Prayer:
My Father and my God, may
I be a partaker of these better promises now and forever more
Amen
Memory verse: Heb. 8: 6
"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."
