Jesus mediates a better covenant established on better promises. The old covenant and earthly tabernacle pointed to heavenly realities, but Christ entered the true sanctuary and, through His own blood, secured eternal redemption and inaugurated the new covenant.
The priesthood changed from Levi to Jesus, bringing a better covenant founded on better promises. Christ is our eternal High Priest, serving not in an earthly tabernacle made by men, but in the true heavenly sanctuary established by God.
Jesus is our sympathetic High Priest who gives mercy and grace in weakness. Believers are urged to mature beyond spiritual infancy, warning that continual unbelief and falling away after receiving truth leads to dangerous hardness of heart and spiritual ruin.
Unbelief and disobedience keep people from God’s rest, but faith and perseverance lead us in. Jesus, our compassionate High Priest, understands our weakness and invites us to come boldly for mercy and grace when we need help.
