“Here is the main point: We have a High Priest who sat down in the place of honor beside the throne of the majestic God in heaven. There He ministers in the heavenly Tabernacle, the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands. ” (Hebrews 8: vv. 1-2, NLT)
“But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for He is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises. If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it. (Hebrews 8:vv. 6-7, NLT)
“When God speaks of a “new” covenant, it means He has made the first one obsolete. It is out of date and will soon disappear.” (Hebrews 8:13, NLT)
