The new covenant changes the heart and minds of mankind. The new covenant is made by God for all men. We become God's people

The old covenant had flaws. It could not change man. God promised a new covenant and that is the covenant that God abides by.

Now we have a new covenant. It is completely different than the old covenant. Jesus is the one to bring agreement. This new covenant is based on new promises.

What was seen on earth under the old covenant was a replica of what was in heaven.

Hebrews 8 verse 1 and 2 are a summary of what has been said. Jesus is our high priest, He is seated in authority in heaven and he is there serving according to the sacrifice that was made.

Jesus became our sacrifice and paid the debt of sins once for all. He is our High Priest but He is also a Son forever.

Because Jesus is eternal His position is never changing. He is speaking on our behalf to the Father.

Jesus has done two things for us. He has taken an oath of office, He is our High Priest forever. He is our security deposit and He will bring us into perfection.

The two sides of man's relationship with God. The law was weak and useless in changing us. But Jesus gave us a hope and that hope causes us to draw near to God.

Jesus fulfilled the requirements of the law. God is not angry with you. Jesus is our High Priest.

Jesus was from the tribe of Judah or the tribe of kings. He is also our eternal, all powerful high priest.

God never intended for the Levitical priesthood to bring perfection. That is why we needed another priest. His name is Jesus

The greater One blesses the smaller one. God blesses us! The tithe brings the blessing of God.

Abraham saw the greatness of Melchizedek and gave Him the tithe. The reason why believers don't tithe is because they don't see the greatness of Christ.

Melchizedek was eternal. He had not father, mother or genealogy. He was a priest forever. He is Christ.

Abraham gave Melchizedek a tithe of all he had received. Melchizedek is the king of righteousness. He is also the king of peace.

Who is Melchizedek? He is the king of Salem or peace, He is the priest of the Most High God. He meet Abraham and blessed Him.

Jesus is our forerunner. He is ready to meet us when we past from this life to the next. He stands in heaven as our high priest making intercession for us.

Our hope is in God. He is sure and never changing. He is steadfast and can hold us in storms. He has gone before us and entered into heaven.

The ground determines the fruit. Good ground produces useful fruit when it is taken care of. Poor ground produces weeds that will be burned.
