Ep 44 - Hebrews 8:8-13

Today's episode, titled, "Better Promises" takes us into Hebrews chapter 8, verses 8-13. In them, the author of Hebrews relies on the Old Testament Scriptures to drive home his point that Jesus is the better high priest offering a better sacrifice as part of a better covenant based on better promises. He will elaborate, in detail, just what those promises entail, specifically for the people of Israel. The old covenant, with its rules, rituals and regulations had been done away with. With Christ's death, burial and resurrection, it had been replaced with the new covenant. And now, our obedience to the will and law of God is not based on outward motivation, but the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.
