Understanding the New Covenant in Hebrews Chapter 8
In this sermon, we continue our journey through the book of Hebrews, moving from chapter 7's discussion on Melchizedek to the critical themes in chapter 8. We explore the significance of Jesus as the perfect High Priest and the concept of the heavenly sanctuary where He ministers on our behalf. This video delves into the meaning of the New Covenant, comparing it to the Old Covenant established through Moses and emphasizing that while God's law remains unchanged, our relationship with Him becomes more personal through Jesus Christ. We also look at scripture from Deuteronomy and Jeremiah to understand how the New Covenant was prophesied and fulfilled. Join us as we unpack these profound biblical truths and their implications for our lives and salvation.
