Watch Sermon:
Jesus fulfills and exceeds the Old Testament covenant as our perfect high priest, serving in the true heavenly sanctuary rather than an earthly temple. Unlike temporary earthly priests, His ministry transcends physical patterns and completes what the old system merely foreshadowed. His position at God's right hand demonstrates the completeness of His work and the permanence of His ministry. The new covenant Jesus mediates brings superior promises that transform believers' lives. Through the Holy Spirit, God's law is written directly on hearts, enabling all believers to have a personal relationship with Him. This covenant provides complete forgiveness and permanent removal of sin rather than temporary covering. However, various obstacles can block our view of Christ's superiority, including self-reliance, performance-based thinking, and allowing good things to become ultimate things. The key to spiritual endurance lies in maintaining a clear vision of Jesus and embracing the eternal solutions He provides rather than temporary fixes.
