A Better Covenant - Part 10 - 2023-08-30

Hebrews 8:6-7 says, "But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises."

Jesus has made the way for us to be in a Better Covenant with God than what was available in the Old Covenant. Think of this in light of a new and improved model of car that comes out. The manufacturer is not saying the old was bad and we are doing away with it; they are saying the redesign is better. The Old Testament (Covenant) is not bad, and the New Testament is good. The Old Testament was good, and the New Testament is better.

The two do not fight with each other. They complement and complete each other. The Old Covenant was not done away with; it was fulfilled in the Lord Jesus.

In this series of lessons from our Wednesday Evening ZOOM Bible Study, we are studying what a covenant is and what it means to be in a better covenant with God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
