Jesus, Our Priest Forever (Hebrews 7:20-28)

We saw last time that our Lord Jesus has become a priest “by the power of an indestructible life” (7:16). He is qualified for a better priesthood not by genealogy but by resurrection. He has introduced a better hope to us, a hope through which we can draw near to God by grace. It’s this better hope, this better priesthood, that the author continues to unpack in our text. Here he emphasizes a truth that I’ve made the title of my sermon: Jesus is our priest forever. In this sermon, pastor Matt shows us that only Jesus continues forever as our all-sufficient priest. He alone is the hope of salvation because he is a priest who has been appointed by God’s unchanging oath, who always lives to intercede for us, and who he has been made perfect forever.
