Good, Better, Best
We are going to have a contest today… Hopefully we are all winners at the end!
Skippy Peanut Butter
Regular?
Chunky?
OR My personal favorite...
Anchovies?
So among those three choice, Good, Better, Best how do you rank them
So my favorite Anchovies are Good… right
Now what’s better?
And finally the best?
Choices, Choices, Choices
We all make 100’s of decisions each day.
— What do we wear?
— What’s for dinner?
— Do we go one way or another?
Book of Hebrews, Chapter 8
So, we can imagine that after the message of Chapter 7 spread among the people...
Jesus was being compared to Melchizedek.. Of course there is no comparison.
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS GOD WITH SKIN ON, AS SUCH HIS MESSAGE IS TIMELESSNESS.
Those devote, unmovable Jews would have remained, worshiping the law EVEN THOUGH it was weak and useless.
EVEN THOUGH “a better hope is introduced.
V18 — Their He declares that the pre-Jeremiah 31 convenant was “useless” and “weak.”
WHOA.. What is the Jeremiah convenant
V19 — The writer acknowledges the short-comings of the “Law.”
But...
You see the law was good… until men imposed different perspectives.
Adding 617 other “laws.”
Then it was all about Control… Had little to nothing to do with reconciliation to God.
It had everything to do with power…
Power over the Jews by Jews as they fought alongside of the Pharisee’s and Sadducee’s to eliminate people that could not be controlled.
That “better” hope is found in the Priesthood of Christ and is permanent.
So we have two of three identified as
“Good” — God’s original plan was for man to live in eden for eternity.
He called it “good”
Genesis 1:3–4 (ESV)
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 And God saw that the light was good.
And God separated the light from the darkness.
After mankind’s “FALL”
God knew what he needed to do
— Created a sacrifical system so His people could atone for their sin.
— God gave the TEN SUGGESTIONS to worship him and live a healthy community.
— Don’t forget it… It was the TEN COMMANDMENTS not “Suggestions”
— We are still bound by those original commandments
— God was constantly showing and demonstrating to the Jews that HIS law is the only law it is a superior law.
— He is ONE GOD God and is to be worshipped in truth.
“A better hope is introduced”
That “better hope” is found only in Christ.
He came delivered, on the 100’s of prophecies from the Old Testament.
He is a “better hope” than any more laws, or rules.
He is Jesus, High Priest of a Better Covenant.
Our priest, our prophet and of course our Savior!
Look at V2. — “a minister in the Holy places, in the true tent
The “tent” is identified as the tabernacle.
Wait a minute… Jesus opens the New Testament who is in the the “tent”
It’s Jesus… A pre incarnate Christ who met and talked with Moses face-to-face.
Moses then accepted Christ and the two others.
Fed them and sent them on their way.
Let’s wander back to our scripture
All of the distractions and there were plenty served the people for a time, maybe for years.
But there is only 1 God, 1 Jesus and 1 Holy Spirit.
And they together form the Godhead!
The word “shadow”
A shadow has no substance in itself.
It has no independent existence.
It merely is proof of the fact that there is a reality back of it.
It is not itself solid or real.
Just so, the earthly tabernacle gave proof of the fact that there was a real one, the heavenly one where God Himself dwelt, where Messiah officiates as High Priest.
We have been saying all along what is so much better about the promise of Christ over the promises of the law.
It’s the ministry of Christ that makes it “better”
---------------------------
All the promises made to get to The First Covenant
Genesis 8:20–21 (ESV)
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And when the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth.
Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.
God’s covenants are prominent in every period of salvation history.
----------------
Before we put up on the next verse...
— Think about these things… what did the people do?
— Not the powerful, not the Pharisee’s or Sadducees.
— The people were cautiously waiting for what was next.
V.8
— A new set of agreements.
— It’s is prophetic because he says the “days are coming.”
But not yet here!
— There will be a NEW COVENANT
Listen to theses next verses or read along in your Bibles.
Here are some highlights
— Christ is bringing a new covenant
— It won’t be anything like the previous covenant
— I will put my law in their hearts
— They will be my people and I will be their God
— From the least to the greatest will know my name
— From Vs.12 - I will be merciful toward their sins; and I will remember their sin no more!
NOW THAT IS QUITE THE LIST OF PROMISES!
Those promises could only be made by one person… Jesus
V.13
This new covenant… The one that has been decreed since the beginning of time.
IT IS THE VERY BEST THAT GOD CAN GIVE US!!!
— So why are we living in the world that we live in?
