Jesus Mediates a Better Covenant (Hebrews 8:1-13)
"But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises." Hebrews 8:6 (NIV)
Context
The author builds on his argument from Hebrews 7:11-12—that the predicted change in the priesthood also indicated a predicted change in the law (or covenant). In today’s passage, he discusses more evidence that the old covenant itself looked forward to its replacement by something new and superior. Jeremiah 31:31-34 is one such passage.
Observation
The author begins by emphasizing the main point he has been trying to make: Jesus has a ministry like the levitical priests, only greater (8:1). The levitical priests served at a sanctuary only patterned after the heavenly one shown to Moses on Sinai. In contrast, Jesus serves at the true tabernacle in heaven, constructed by God and not mere men (8:2-5).
The new covenant, which governs Christ’s priesthood, is superior to the old and offers far better privileges—like forgiveness of sin! This is testified to by the prophetic promises, especially the one found in Jeremiah 31:31-34 (quoted in 8:6-13).
Interpretation
As you read today’s passage, think about what the author is trying to communicate to his readers about the value and benefit of the old covenant versus the value and benefit of the new. How does this chapter contribute to his encouragement to “draw near” to Jesus rather than “shrink back” to the old covenant?
Application
The benefits of the new covenant—in which we participate—include the ability to keep God’s commands (8:10), knowing God (8:11), and forgiveness of sin (8:12).
Can you think of specific ways you have experienced each of these benefits? This week, how is God inviting you to take advantage of them in a practical way?
