Hebrews 6:16-8:6
In today’s message, the writer of Hebrews encourages his readers – and us – that our unchanging God keeps His promises. He kept His promise to Abraham that he would bear a son, and He fulfilled the prophetic promise of Psalm 110 to provide a new High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. This new and eternal High Priest, Jesus, provides the way of access to God, the consolation, refuge, and certain hope that believers have as an anchor of our souls (Hebrews 6:18-19). Hebrews Chapter 7 through 8:6 expands on all the ways that Jesus is superior to the religious system of the Old Covenant. How much more can we rest in the knowledge that Jesus is the (only) Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises (Hebrews 8:6)! Pastor Kevin concludes an exhortation to be sure we are anchored in Jesus, especially in light of all the signs that troubling times lie ahead for those who are not.
