Hebrews Pt 12 Jesus, the Better High Priest
In this deep dive into Hebrews 7:11-28, we unpack one of the most encouraging truths in Scripture: Jesus isn't just a slightly improved version of the Old Testament priesthood—He's in a completely different category. Unlike the Levitical priests who died and needed replacement, Jesus holds His priesthood permanently through His indestructible life. Unlike priests who offered repeated sacrifices for their own sins first, Jesus offered Himself once-for-all as the perfect, sinless sacrifice.
What does it mean that Jesus "saves to the uttermost" and "always lives to make intercession"? How does God's oath guarantee your access to Him? And why does Jesus being from the tribe of Judah (not Levi) actually matter for your prayer life today? We'll explore how Jesus as our guarantor of a better covenant changes everything about how we approach God—not with fear and performance, but with boldness and assurance. If you've ever struggled with feeling distant from God or wondered if your failures disqualify you from His presence, this teaching will anchor you in the unshakeable truth of Christ's eternal priesthood. Come discover why you can draw near to God with complete confidence, not because of your consistency, but because of Christ's.
