Chapter 8
Chapter 8. In the previous chapter, we looked
at Jesus now as the High Priest of a New and Greater Sanctuary. Now in
this chapter we look at the New Covenant as New and Greater.
Verse 1-2; Chapter 8 summarizes Chapter 7.
It opens by stating clearly; “this is the point of what we are saying.”
Our High Priest is now seated on the Right Hand of the Throne of Majesty in
Heaven. And He serves in the “True” Tabernacle (Temple) made by God and
not by man.
Verse 3-6; Consider the primary duties of a High
Priest. It is to offer sacrifices and gifts on the Altar of the
tabernacle unto God. If our High Priest were on earth, He would have no
job nor standing. For there are men who have been assigned that
job. But the earthly in which men serve was a shadow, a picture, a type,
a copy of the True one in Heaven. Remember what the Lord told Moses; “be
sure to make it exactly as I have instructed you.” (Ex. 25: 40) But the ministry,
the covenant, the Tabernacle, and the promises of the New are all superior to
the Old.
Verses 7-12; God found fault with the people of
the Old Covenant. God did not fail, the old covenant did not fail, the
priests did not fail, but because of the people, God declared that another
covenant was necessary. He foretold the new one to come in Jeremiah 31:
31-34. Echoed here in these verses.
Verses13; It is simple: the new supersedes the old by
depiction in the name itself. New replaces old.
