Series Sermon #21: At the beginning of Hebrews 8, the author finishes describing the priesthood of Jesus with one important quality. Jesus’s priesthood is superior because of its location. He currently ministers for believers in the presence of God above. The author starts with an important summary statement about Christ’s priesthood and then contrasts him with the old priests one more time. This text leaves no doubt about the importance of Christ’s ministry for anyone who desires to please God.
