Hebrews 7:11-19

Lesson 7/Day 7 At this point in our study about priesthoods, Melchizedek, and how the Hebrew audience was resistant to seeing Jesus as better than all, you may be thinking, “Yeah, but I get it! Jesus is better. What is wrong with these Hebrews that they couldn’t just see Jesus?!” Yet, I have found in my own life as well as my ministry with others that knowing that Jesus is better and truly living a surrendered life to Him are two entirely different things. We may say with our words “Lord, I’m all yours!” but our hearts drift far from him – we don’t deny him and shake our fist at heaven – nothing as dramatic and obvious as that! Instead, we just craft for ourselves a “Jesus And” sort of religion. Jesus and my health. Jesus and my family. Jesus and my career. Jesus and my hopes. Before we sigh with impatience at the audience in this book, let’s examine our own hearts and repent of anything in which we seek perfection outside of Jesus.
