135 | Why Jesus Is Better Than Religion

In this episode, Pastor David Maestas unpacks the rich theology of Hebrews 7, where Jesus is revealed as our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. Unlike the temporary and imperfect priesthood of the Old Testament, Jesus offers something far better—permanent intercession and an unshakable hope. The old system couldn't bring people into true closeness with God, but Jesus can. Pastor David emphasizes that we no longer need to rely on flawed systems or human mediators. Jesus is both sinless and eternal—completely able to save those who come to God through Him. This message is a powerful reminder that our hope isn't based on religion or ritual, but on a living Savior who never stops advocating for us.
