Hebrews 8:1-13 · Providence Baptist Church - Sermons

• 0:00
  We've been studying together on the Lord's Day, the book of Hebrews.
• 0:04
  And this morning our text will be Hebrews chapter 8.
• 0:07
  ! However, before you turn to Hebrews chapter 8,
• 0:10
  ! I'm going to ask you to join me in Revelation chapter 4.
• 0:16
  The book of Hebrews was written by an unknown pastor
• 0:19
  to a group of beleaguered Hellenistic Jews, Greek-speaking Jews,
• 0:26
  who most likely lived on the outskirts of Rome
• 0:30
  and had suffered much for their faith.
• 0:34
  The text lets us know that they had been beaten,
• 0:37
  some had been imprisoned,
• 0:39
  some had had their property taken
• 0:41
  because they were followers of Jesus Christ.
• 0:44
  And some of them who had professed faith in Jesus
• 0:47
  had left the church already,
• 0:50
  and some of them were being tempted to do the same.
• 0:53
  So the author of Hebrews writes to them this very pastoral letter
• 0:59
  encouraging them to hold firm,
• 1:03
  to stay steady,
• 1:05
  because Christ is the great anchor of the soul.
• 1:11
  And I know we've been spending a lot of time
• 1:14
  talking about Jesus' priesthood,
• 1:16
  his Melchizedekian priesthood,
• 1:19
  and I know that it's easy for us to get lost sometimes
• 1:22
  in all that that means.
• 1:26
  The author of Hebrews finds it extremely important.
• 1:30
  He's spending this great labor
• 1:33
  to be sure that they understand
• 1:36
  the significance of Jesus' priesthood.
• 1:39
  And he continues that into chapter 8.
• 1:43
  And so I thought this morning,
• 1:47
  as we're going to consider further,
• 1:50
  that Jesus is not a priest from the Aaronic priesthood,
• 1:54
  but is rather a priest after the order of Melchizedek.
• 1:59
  This massive significance,
• 2:02
  him being able to save to the uttermost
• 2:04
  those who draw near to God through him,
• 2:07
  since he always lives to make intercession for them,
• 2:12
  chapter 7 and verse 25,
• 2:16
  that we would have a grander view
• 2:20
  of what that looks like.
• 2:24
  So to help expand our minds
• 2:27
  and ignite our hearts to the glory of heaven,
• 2:30
  I thought it would be good for us this morning
• 2:32
  to read John's account of his vision
• 2:35
  of Jesus Christ ascending to his throne
• 2:38
  as our eternal high priest.
• 2:42
  This has served me well,
• 2:44
  Revelation chapter 4 and 5 this week,
• 2:48
  and I hope it will do the same for you.
• 2:50
  So beginning in verse 1,
• 2:52
  Revelation 4 and following.
• 2:55
  After this I looked,
• 2:57
  and behold, a door standing open in heaven,
• 3:00
  and the first voice which I had heard
• 3:03
  speaking to me like a trumpet said,
• 3:05
  come up here,
• 3:06
  and I will show you what must take place
• 3:08
  after this.
• 3:11
  At once I was in the Spirit,
• 3:12
  and behold, a throne stood in heaven
• 3:14
  with one seated on the throne.
• 3:17
  And he who sat there
• 3:18
  had the appearance of jasper and carnelian,
• 3:21
  and around the throne was a rainbow
• 3:23
  that had the appearance of an emerald.
• 3:26
  Around the throne were 24 thrones,
• 3:28
  and seated on the thrones were 24 elders,
• 3:30
  clothed in white garments
• 3:32
  with golden crowns on their heads.
• 3:35
  From the throne came flashes of lightning
• 3:37
  and rumblings and peals of thunder,
• 3:39
  and before the throne were burning
• 3:41
  seven torches of fire,
• 3:43
  which are the seven spirits of God.
• 3:45
  And before the throne there was,
• 3:46
  as it were,
• 3:47
  a sea of glass like crystal.
• 3:50
  And around the throne,
• 3:51
  on each side of the throne,
• 3:53
  are four living creatures
• 3:54
  full of eyes in front and behind.
• 3:57
  The first living creature like a lion.
• 4:00
  The second living creature like an ox.
• 4:02
  The third living creature with the face of a man.
• 4:05
  And the fourth living creature
• 4:06
  like an eagle in flight.
• 4:09
  And the four living creatures,
• 4:10
  each of them with six wings,
• 4:12
  are full of eyes all around and within,
• 4:14
  and day and night,
• 4:15
  they never cease to say,
• 4:18
  Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,
• 4:21
  who was and is and is to come.
• 4:24
  And whenever the living creatures
• 4:26
  give glory and honor and thanks to Him
• 4:27
  who is seated on the throne,
• 4:29
  who lives forever and ever,
• 4:31
  the twenty-four elders fall down before Him
• 4:33
  who is seated on the throne,
• 4:34
  and worship Him who lives forever and ever.
• 4:37
  They cast their crowns before the throne,
• 4:39
  saying,
• 4:40
  Worthy are You, our Lord and God,
• 4:42
  to receive glory and honor and power,
• 4:45
  for You created all things,
• 4:46
  and by Your will,
• 4:48
  they existed and were created.
• 4:50
  We're not going to unpack the significance
• 4:53
  of all of that this morning,
• 4:55
  but it is awesome.
• 4:59
  Chapter 5.
• 5:01
  Then I saw in the right hand of Him
• 5:03
  who was seated on the throne
• 5:04
  a scroll written within and on the back,
• 5:07
  sealed with seven seals.
• 5:09
  And I saw a mighty angel
• 5:11
  proclaiming with a loud voice,
• 5:13
  Who is worthy to open the scroll
• 5:15
  and break its seals?
• 5:17
  And no one in heaven or on earth
• 5:19
  or under the earth
• 5:20
  was able to open the scroll
• 5:21
  or to look into it.
• 5:23
  And I began to weep loudly
• 5:26
  because no one was found worthy
• 5:27
  to open the scroll
• 5:28
  or to look into it.
• 5:31
  And one of the elders said to me,
• 5:33
  Weep no more.
• 5:35
  Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
• 5:39
  the Root of David,
• 5:40
  has conquered
• 5:41
  so that He can open the scroll
• 5:43
  and its seven seals.
• 5:45
  And between the throne
• 5:46
  and the four living creatures
• 5:47
  and among the elders
• 5:48
  I saw a lamb standing
• 5:49
  as though it had been slain
• 5:51
  with seven horns
• 5:53
  and with seven eyes
• 5:54
  which are the seven spirits of God
• 5:56
  sent out into all the earth.
• 5:58
  And He went and took the scroll
• 6:00
  from the right hand of Him
• 6:01
  who was seated on the throne.
• 6:03
  And when He had taken the scroll,
• 6:05
  the four living creatures
• 6:06
  and the twenty-four elders
• 6:07
  fell down before the lamb,
• 6:09
  each holding a harp
• 6:10
  and golden bowls full of incense
• 6:12
  which are the prayers of the saints.
• 6:14
  And they sang a new song saying,
• 6:18
  Worthy are you to take the scroll
• 6:21
  and to open its seals.
• 6:22
  For you were slain
• 6:24
  and by your blood
• 6:24
  you ransomed people for God
• 6:26
  from every tribe and language
• 6:28
  and people and nation.
• 6:31
  You have made them a kingdom
• 6:32
  and priests to our God.
• 6:35
  They shall reign on the earth.
• 6:38
  Then I looked
• 6:39
  and I heard around the throne
• 6:41
  and the living creatures
• 6:42
  and the elders
• 6:42
  the voice of many angels
• 6:44
  numbering myriads of myriads
• 6:47
  and thousands of thousands
• 6:48
  saying with a loud voice,
• 6:50
  Worthy is the lamb
• 6:51
  who was slain
• 6:52
  to receive power
• 6:53
  and wealth
• 6:53
  and wisdom
• 6:54
  and might
• 6:55
  and honor
• 6:56
  and glory
• 6:57
  and blessing.
• 6:59
  And I heard every creature
• 7:00
  in heaven
• 7:01
  and on earth
• 7:01
  and under the earth
• 7:02
  and in the sea
• 7:03
  and all that is in them
• 7:05
  saying,
• 7:06
  To him who sits
• 7:07
  on the throne
• 7:07
  and the lamb
• 7:08
  be blessing
• 7:09
  and honor
• 7:10
  and glory
• 7:10
  and might
• 7:11
  forever
• 7:12
  and ever.
• 7:14
  And the four living creatures
• 7:16
  said,
• 7:17
  Amen.
• 7:18
  And the elders
• 7:19
  fell down
• 7:20
  and worshipped.
• 7:23
  This
• 7:24
  is our Christ.
• 7:27
  And I think
• 7:28
  he gets lost
• 7:29
  so often
• 7:30
  in our minds
• 7:30
  with a
• 7:31
  buddy Jesus
• 7:33
  mentality.
• 7:36
  He is our
• 7:37
  high priest
• 7:38
  who reigns
• 7:40
  at the right hand
• 7:41
  of the Father.
• 7:44
  And none of us
• 7:45
  have suffered
• 7:45
  the way
• 7:46
  these Hebrew believers
• 7:47
  were suffering
• 7:48
  or would suffer
• 7:50
  for that matter.
• 7:53
  So certainly
• 7:54
  whatever we bring
• 7:55
  to this room
• 7:56
  this morning,
• 7:58
  we can have
• 8:00
  a great confidence,
• 8:03
  an unshakable
• 8:04
  hope
• 8:05
  because we have
• 8:07
  this
• 8:07
  king
• 8:08
  priest,
• 8:09
  this
• 8:10
  Melchizedekian
• 8:11
  priest
• 8:12
  who ministers
• 8:14
  on our behalf.
• 8:17
  I hope
• 8:18
  that the book
• 8:19
  of Hebrews
• 8:19
  is not
• 8:20
  getting boring
• 8:21
  for you.
• 8:23
  Our text
• 8:24
  for today
• 8:25
  is Hebrews
• 8:26
  chapter 8
• 8:27
  verses 1-13
• 8:28
  which is the
• 8:29
  entirety
• 8:30
  of the chapter.
• 8:31
  Please join
• 8:32
  me there
• 8:32
  with that
• 8:38
  magnificent
• 8:38
  scene
• 8:39
  from Revelation
• 8:40
  chapter 4
• 8:41
  and 5.
• 8:45
  Fixed in your
• 8:46
  minds,
• 8:47
  beloved,
• 8:47
  let me remind
• 8:47
  you that this
• 8:48
  is God's
• 8:48
  word to us
• 8:49
  written for
• 8:50
  his glory
• 8:51
  and our
• 8:51
  good.
• 8:53
  So we would
• 8:53
  all do well
• 8:54
  to listen to it
• 8:54
  in order to
• 8:55
  believe its
• 8:55
  promises
• 8:56
  and obey
• 8:57
  its commands.
• 8:57
  chapter 8
• 8:59
  and verse 1
• 8:59
  and following.
• 9:01
  Now the point
• 9:02
  in what we are
• 9:03
  saying
• 9:03
  is this.
• 9:05
  We have
• 9:06
  such a high
• 9:07
  priest,
• 9:07
  one who is
• 9:08
  seated at the
• 9:09
  right hand
• 9:09
  of the throne
• 9:10
  of the majesty
• 9:11
  in heaven,
• 9:12
  a minister
• 9:13
  in the holy
• 9:14
  places,
• 9:14
  in the true
• 9:15
  tent that the
• 9:16
  Lord set up,
• 9:17
  not man.
• 9:18
  For every
• 9:19
  high priest
• 9:20
  is appointed
• 9:20
  to offer
• 9:21
  gifts and
• 9:21
  sacrifices.
• 9:22
  Thus it is
• 9:23
  necessary for
• 9:24
  this priest
• 9:24
  also to have
• 9:26
  something to
• 9:26
  offer.
• 9:27
  Now if he
• 9:28
  were on
• 9:28
  earth,
• 9:29
  he would
• 9:30
  not be a
• 9:30
  priest at
• 9:31
  all,
• 9:31
  since there
• 9:31
  are priests
• 9:32
  who offer
• 9:32
  gifts according
• 9:33
  to the law.
• 9:35
  They serve a
• 9:36
  copy and
• 9:36
  shadow of
• 9:37
  the heavenly
• 9:38
  things.
• 9:39
  For when
• 9:39
  Moses was
• 9:40
  about to
• 9:40
  erect the
• 9:41
  tent,
• 9:41
  he was
• 9:42
  instructed by
• 9:43
  God saying,
• 9:44
  see that you
• 9:44
  make everything
• 9:45
  according to
• 9:46
  the pattern
• 9:46
  that was shown
• 9:47
  you on the
• 9:48
  mountain.
• 9:49
  But that as
• 9:49
  it is,
• 9:50
  Christ has
• 9:50
  obtained a
• 9:51
  ministry that
• 9:51
  is as much
• 9:52
  more excellent
• 9:53
  than the old
• 9:53
  as the covenant
• 9:54
  he mediates
• 9:55
  is better,
• 9:56
  since it is
• 9:56
  enacted on
• 9:57
  better promises.
• 9:59
  For if that
• 10:00
  first covenant
• 10:00
  had been
• 10:01
  faultless,
• 10:02
  there had
• 10:02
  been no
• 10:02
  occasion to
• 10:03
  look for a
• 10:04
  second.
• 10:05
  For he
• 10:06
  finds fault
• 10:06
  with them
• 10:07
  when he
• 10:08
  says,
• 10:09
  Behold,
• 10:09
  the days are
• 10:10
  coming,
• 10:10
  declares the
• 10:11
  Lord,
• 10:11
  when I will
• 10:12
  establish a
• 10:12
  new covenant
• 10:13
  with the house
• 10:13
  of Israel
• 10:14
  and with the
• 10:14
  house of
• 10:15
  Judah,
• 10:16
  not like the
• 10:16
  covenant that I
• 10:17
  made with
• 10:17
  their fathers
• 10:18
  on the day
• 10:18
  when I took
• 10:19
  them by the
• 10:19
  hand to
• 10:19
  bring them
• 10:20
  out of the
• 10:20
  land of
• 10:21
  Egypt.
• 10:22
  For they
• 10:22
  did not
• 10:23
  continue in
• 10:24
  my covenant,
• 10:24
  and so I
• 10:25
  showed no
• 10:26
  concern for
• 10:27
  them,
• 10:27
  declares the
• 10:28
  Lord.
• 10:29
  For this is the
• 10:29
  covenant that I
• 10:30
  will make with
• 10:30
  the house of
• 10:31
  Israel after
• 10:31
  those days,
• 10:32
  declares the
• 10:32
  Lord.
• 10:33
  I will put my
• 10:34
  laws into
• 10:35
  their minds
• 10:35
  and write them
• 10:36
  on their
• 10:37
  hearts,
• 10:37
  and I will be
• 10:38
  their God,
• 10:39
  and they shall
• 10:39
  be my people.
• 10:41
  And they shall
• 10:41
  not teach each
• 10:42
  one his neighbor
• 10:43
  and each one
• 10:43
  his brother,
• 10:44
  saying,
• 10:44
  Know the
• 10:45
  Lord,
• 10:46
  for they shall
• 10:46
  all know me
• 10:47
  from the least
• 10:48
  of them to
• 10:49
  the greatest.
• 10:50
  For I will be
• 10:51
  merciful toward
• 10:52
  their iniquities,
• 10:52
  and I will
• 10:53
  remember their
• 10:54
  sins no more.
• 10:56
  In speaking of
• 10:57
  a new covenant,
• 10:58
  he makes the
• 10:58
  first one
• 10:59
  obsolete,
• 11:00
  and what is
• 11:01
  becoming obsolete
• 11:02
  and growing old
• 11:03
  is ready to
• 11:04
  vanish away.
• 11:07
  A very short
• 11:09
  outline for our
• 11:10
  text today,
• 11:11
  two primary
• 11:11
  points,
• 11:12
  and we'll have
• 11:13
  some sub
• 11:13
  points which I'll
• 11:14
  try to carefully
• 11:14
  spell out for
• 11:16
  you.
• 11:17
  But simply
• 11:17
  this,
• 11:18
  the overarching
• 11:19
  structure today,
• 11:21
  it's number one,
• 11:22
  the supremacy
• 11:22
  of Jesus'
• 11:24
  priesthood,
• 11:25
  verses 1-9,
• 11:27
  and secondly,
• 11:29
  the supremacy
• 11:29
  of the new
• 11:30
  covenant,
• 11:32
  verses 10-13.
• 11:35
  The supremacy
• 11:35
  of Jesus'
• 11:36
  priesthood
• 11:36
  and the supremacy
• 11:37
  of the new
• 11:38
  covenant.
• 11:39
  So let's look
• 11:40
  first at the
• 11:40
  supremacy of
• 11:41
  Jesus'
• 11:43
  priesthood.
• 11:43
  In the first
• 11:44
  subset,
• 11:45
  A, if you'd
• 11:45
  like to call it
• 11:46
  that,
• 11:47
  Jesus'
• 11:47
  supreme
• 11:49
  session.
• 11:50
  And you'll
• 11:51
  see this in
• 11:51
  verses 1-2.
• 11:54
  Jesus'
• 11:54
  supreme
• 11:55
  session.
• 11:56
  And that is a
• 11:56
  word that
• 11:57
  means His
• 11:57
  reign.
• 11:59
  Jesus Christ
• 12:00
  currently is
• 12:01
  reigning over
• 12:03
  all things.
• 12:06
  And it is so
• 12:06
  important to
• 12:07
  note in this
• 12:08
  text,
• 12:09
  verses 1-2,
• 12:10
  that He is
• 12:11
  seated.
• 12:13
  He is seated
• 12:14
  at the right
• 12:15
  hand,
• 12:16
  which is the
• 12:16
  place of honor,
• 12:17
  of the throne,
• 12:18
  of the majesty
• 12:19
  in heaven.
• 12:22
  He is seated.
• 12:23
  And this
• 12:24
  posture speaks
• 12:26
  to His
• 12:27
  completed work,
• 12:29
  the finality
• 12:31
  of the work
• 12:32
  that He has
• 12:33
  accomplished.
• 12:35
  In John
• 12:36
  chapter 19
• 12:37
  and verse
• 12:37
  30,
• 12:38
  John records
• 12:39
  for us,
• 12:39
  when Jesus
• 12:39
  had received
• 12:40
  the sour
• 12:41
  wine,
• 12:42
  He said,
• 12:43
  it is
• 12:44
  finished.
• 12:45
  And He
• 12:46
  bowed His
• 12:47
  head and
• 12:47
  gave up
• 12:48
  His
• 12:48
  spirit.
• 12:49
  The author
• 12:50
  of Hebrews
• 12:50
  makes this
• 12:52
  point in
• 12:52
  his introduction
• 12:53
  to this
• 12:54
  letter.
• 12:55
  Hebrews
• 12:56
  chapter 1
• 12:56
  and verse
• 12:57
  3,
• 12:58
  he says of
• 12:58
  Jesus,
• 12:59
  He is the
• 12:59
  radiance of
• 12:59
  the glory
• 13:00
  of God
• 13:00
  and the
• 13:00
  exact imprint
• 13:01
  of His
• 13:02
  nature.
• 13:03
  And He
• 13:03
  upholds
• 13:04
  the universe
• 13:04
  by the
• 13:05
  word of
• 13:06
  His power.
• 13:07
  After
• 13:08
  making
• 13:08
  purification
• 13:09
  for sins,
• 13:11
  He sat
• 13:12
  down at
• 13:13
  the right
• 13:13
  hand of
• 13:14
  the majesty
• 13:15
  on high.
• 13:16
  After
• 13:17
  hanging on
• 13:18
  that cross
• 13:18
  for those
• 13:19
  three brutal
• 13:20
  hours where
• 13:21
  the wrath
• 13:21
  of God
• 13:22
  for our
• 13:22
  sin was
• 13:23
  poured out
• 13:23
  on Him,
• 13:24
  after making
• 13:24
  that purification
• 13:25
  He declared,
• 13:27
  it is
• 13:28
  finished.
• 13:30
  And He
• 13:31
  sat down.
• 13:33
  The temple
• 13:34
  worship
• 13:35
  of the
• 13:36
  Jews'
• 13:36
  day
• 13:37
  was full
• 13:38
  of sacrifice.
• 13:40
  This gets
• 13:40
  unpacked even
• 13:42
  further as we
• 13:43
  move into
• 13:43
  chapter 9
• 13:44
  of the
• 13:44
  book of
• 13:45
  Hebrews.
• 13:46
  There was
• 13:47
  constant
• 13:47
  sacrifice
• 13:48
  happening
• 13:49
  in this
• 13:50
  place.
• 13:51
  For the
• 13:51
  known sins
• 13:52
  of Israel,
• 13:53
  and there
• 13:53
  was a
• 13:53
  day once
• 13:54
  a year
• 13:54
  for all
• 13:55
  of the
• 13:55
  unknown
• 13:56
  sins of
• 13:57
  Israel
• 13:57
  called
• 13:57
  the
• 13:58
  day
• 13:58
  of
• 13:58
  atonement.
• 14:00
  Blood
• 14:01
  flowed
• 14:01
  constantly
• 14:02
  from
• 14:03
  this
• 14:03
  place.
• 14:04
  And in
• 14:05
  all of
• 14:05
  the
• 14:05
  carefully
• 14:06
  administered
• 14:06
  instructions
• 14:07
  for how
• 14:08
  to erect
• 14:08
  first the
• 14:09
  tabernacle
• 14:09
  and then
• 14:10
  the temple,
• 14:11
  every bit
• 14:12
  of furniture
• 14:13
  carefully
• 14:13
  described,
• 14:15
  there was
• 14:15
  never once
• 14:16
  a place
• 14:17
  for sitting.
• 14:19
  Priests
• 14:19
  did not
• 14:20
  sit.
• 14:21
  Their shift
• 14:21
  included
• 14:22
  no rest.
• 14:24
  When they
• 14:24
  clocked in,
• 14:26
  they made
• 14:26
  sacrifice,
• 14:27
  and they
• 14:27
  continued to
• 14:28
  make sacrifice
• 14:28
  until they
• 14:29
  clocked out
• 14:30
  when someone
• 14:30
  else took
• 14:31
  over to
• 14:32
  continue
• 14:32
  making
• 14:33
  sacrifice.
• 14:35
  But Jesus
• 14:36
  offered for
• 14:37
  himself,
• 14:38
  he offered
• 14:39
  up himself,
• 14:40
  excuse me,
• 14:40
  once
• 14:41
  for all.
• 14:43
  A final
• 14:44
  sacrifice,
• 14:45
  right?
• 14:45
  A perfect
• 14:46
  sacrifice,
• 14:48
  a completed
• 14:49
  sacrifice.
• 14:52
  So he
• 14:52
  is seated,
• 14:54
  magnificently
• 14:55
  significant.
• 14:57
  Maybe not
• 14:58
  so much
• 14:59
  to our
• 14:59
  non-Jewish
• 15:01
  minds.
• 15:02
  This phrase
• 15:03
  would have
• 15:03
  just leapt
• 15:04
  off the
• 15:05
  page
• 15:05
  at this
• 15:07
  original
• 15:07
  here.
• 15:08
  But this
• 15:09
  does not
• 15:09
  mean
• 15:10
  that he's
• 15:11
  done
• 15:13
  working.
• 15:14
  That he
• 15:14
  doesn't still
• 15:15
  have ministry
• 15:16
  to be
• 15:17
  done.
• 15:18
  It simply
• 15:18
  means that
• 15:20
  all that was
• 15:20
  necessary to
• 15:21
  accomplish it
• 15:22
  has been
• 15:23
  accomplished.
• 15:26
  Verse 2
• 15:26
  says that
• 15:27
  Jesus is a
• 15:28
  minister
• 15:29
  in the
• 15:30
  holy
• 15:31
  places.
• 15:32
  In the
• 15:33
  true tent
• 15:33
  that the
• 15:34
  Lord set
• 15:35
  up,
• 15:35
  not
• 15:36
  man.
• 15:37
  And here
• 15:38
  the author
• 15:38
  of Hebrews
• 15:38
  is referencing
• 15:39
  the inner
• 15:41
  part of
• 15:42
  the tabernacle,
• 15:43
  then the
• 15:44
  temple.
• 15:45
  That's why
• 15:45
  he refers
• 15:45
  to a
• 15:46
  tent that
• 15:47
  the Lord
• 15:47
  set up
• 15:48
  and not
• 15:48
  man.
• 15:49
  This place
• 15:50
  that the
• 15:50
  high priest
• 15:51
  one day
• 15:52
  of year,
• 15:52
  this day
• 15:52
  of atonement,
• 15:53
  was allowed
• 15:53
  to enter
• 15:54
  into the
• 15:54
  presence
• 15:55
  of God.
• 15:57
  This is
• 15:57
  where Jesus
• 15:58
  is.
• 15:59
  In the
• 16:00
  presence
• 16:00
  of God.
• 16:01
  And he
• 16:01
  is ministering.
• 16:03
  And he
• 16:03
  is ministering
• 16:05
  on our
• 16:06
  behalf.
• 16:08
  I think
• 16:08
  it's an
• 16:09
  astounding
• 16:09
  thing
• 16:10
  that our
• 16:11
  eternal
• 16:12
  Christ,
• 16:13
  this priest
• 16:13
  that lives
• 16:14
  forever,
• 16:15
  lives now
• 16:17
  in service
• 16:18
  to us.
• 16:21
  And this
• 16:21
  should be,
• 16:22
  beloved,
• 16:22
  massively
• 16:23
  humbling.
• 16:24
  It should
• 16:25
  be incredibly
• 16:25
  humbling.
• 16:26
  It should
• 16:26
  give us
• 16:26
  no room
• 16:27
  for boasting,
• 16:28
  but rather
• 16:29
  great humility.
• 16:31
  What?
• 16:32
  The one
• 16:32
  who spoke
• 16:33
  the world
• 16:34
  into existence,
• 16:35
  the world
• 16:36
  was created
• 16:37
  through Christ
• 16:38
  and for
• 16:39
  Christ,
• 16:40
  he is
• 16:40
  ministering
• 16:41
  on our
• 16:42
  behalf.
• 16:44
  Hebrews 7
• 16:45
  25,
• 16:46
  we see
• 16:47
  that Jesus
• 16:47
  always lives
• 16:48
  to do
• 16:50
  what?
• 16:50
  Make
• 16:50
  intercession
• 16:51
  for us.
• 16:54
  He is
• 16:54
  praying
• 16:55
  now
• 16:56
  on our
• 16:57
  behalf.
• 17:00
  The
• 17:00
  finalized
• 17:01
  work
• 17:01
  is being
• 17:03
  yet
• 17:03
  actualized.
• 17:05
  We still
• 17:06
  live in
• 17:07
  between
• 17:07
  the times.
• 17:08
  It is
• 17:09
  all coming
• 17:10
  to pass,
• 17:11
  but all
• 17:12
  that was
• 17:12
  necessary
• 17:13
  to accomplish
• 17:14
  it
• 17:14
  has
• 17:15
  been
• 17:16
  done.
• 17:18
  All
• 17:18
  that's
• 17:18
  been
• 17:19
  accomplished
• 17:20
  is coming
• 17:20
  to
• 17:21
  pass.
• 17:24
  This is
• 17:24
  difficult
• 17:25
  to wrap
• 17:26
  your mind
• 17:27
  around,
• 17:29
  but if you
• 17:29
  are in
• 17:30
  Christ,
• 17:32
  what a
• 17:32
  space
• 17:33
  for hope
• 17:34
  because your
• 17:35
  sanctification
• 17:36
  is sure.
• 17:38
  It's already
• 17:39
  been accomplished.
• 17:40
  Your final
• 17:41
  salvation is
• 17:42
  sure.
• 17:42
  It's already
• 17:43
  been
• 17:44
  accomplished.
• 17:46
  It is
• 17:47
  finished.
• 17:50
  You have
• 17:51
  such reason
• 17:52
  for hope
• 17:52
  and confidence
• 17:54
  because Jesus
• 17:55
  is a
• 17:56
  minister
• 17:56
  in the
• 17:57
  holy
• 17:58
  places.
• 18:00
  Now,
• 18:00
  I want you
• 18:01
  to turn
• 18:01
  with me
• 18:01
  again
• 18:01
  to an
• 18:02
  Old
• 18:02
  Testament
• 18:03
  reference
• 18:03
  this time,
• 18:04
  Daniel
• 18:04
  chapter
• 18:05
  7.
• 18:06
  Turn
• 18:07
  with me
• 18:07
  there,
• 18:07
  please.
• 18:08
  Mark
• 18:08
  Hebrews
• 18:09
  chapter
• 18:09
  8.
• 18:09
  We will
• 18:09
  come
• 18:10
  back
• 18:10
  to it.
• 18:10
  He reminds
• 18:20
  you we're
• 18:20
  talking about
• 18:21
  Jesus'
• 18:21
  supreme
• 18:22
  session,
• 18:22
  his
• 18:23
  supreme
• 18:23
  reign.
• 18:28
  Daniel
• 18:28
  chapter 7
• 18:29
  verses 9
• 18:30
  and 10
• 18:30
  and then
• 18:31
  verses 13
• 18:31
  and 14.
• 18:33
  We have
• 18:33
  recorded
• 18:34
  these visions
• 18:34
  that Daniel
• 18:35
  saw.
• 18:36
  Daniel
• 18:36
  saw.
• 18:40
  And there's
• 18:42
  some astounding
• 18:42
  stuff in
• 18:43
  here.
• 18:45
  Beginning
• 18:45
  of verse 9
• 18:46
  of Daniel
• 18:46
  7.
• 18:47
  As I
• 18:47
  looked,
• 18:49
  thrones
• 18:49
  were placed.
• 18:50
  Notice
• 18:51
  there's more
• 18:51
  than one
• 18:51
  throne.
• 18:52
  Thrones
• 18:53
  were placed
• 18:53
  and the
• 18:55
  ancient
• 18:55
  of days
• 18:56
  took his
• 18:56
  seat.
• 18:58
  His
• 18:58
  clothing
• 18:58
  was white
• 18:59
  as snow
• 18:59
  and the
• 19:00
  hair of
• 19:00
  his head
• 19:00
  like pure
• 19:01
  wool.
• 19:02
  His
• 19:03
  throne
• 19:03
  was fiery
• 19:04
  flames.
• 19:05
  Its
• 19:05
  wheels
• 19:05
  were burning
• 19:07
  fire.
• 19:08
  Notice
• 19:09
  this is an
• 19:09
  advancing.
• 19:10
  It's a
• 19:10
  moving
• 19:10
  throne.
• 19:12
  A
• 19:12
  stream
• 19:13
  of
• 19:13
  fire
• 19:13
  issued
• 19:13
  and came
• 19:14
  out
• 19:14
  from
• 19:14
  before
• 19:15
  him.
• 19:15
  A
• 19:15
  thousand
• 19:16
  thousand
• 19:16
  served
• 19:17
  him
• 19:17
  and
• 19:17
  ten
• 19:17
  thousand
• 19:18
  times
• 19:18
  ten
• 19:19
  thousand
• 19:19
  stood
• 19:20
  before
• 19:21
  him.
• 19:22
  The
• 19:22
  court
• 19:22
  sat
• 19:23
  in
• 19:23
  judgment
• 19:24
  and
• 19:24
  the
• 19:24
  books
• 19:25
  were
• 19:26
  opened.
• 19:27
  Some
• 19:28
  of this
• 19:29
  should
• 19:29
  feel
• 19:30
  familiar
• 19:30
  to the
• 19:31
  text we
• 19:31
  read
• 19:32
  previously
• 19:32
  Revelation
• 19:33
  chapter
• 19:34
  4.
• 19:35
  Verse
• 19:36
  13
• 19:36
  and
• 19:36
  14.
• 19:38
  I
• 19:38
  saw
• 19:38
  in the
• 19:39
  night
• 19:39
  visions
• 19:39
  and
• 19:40
  behold
• 19:41
  with
• 19:42
  the
• 19:42
  clouds
• 19:42
  of
• 19:42
  heaven
• 19:43
  there
• 19:43
  came
• 19:43
  one
• 19:44
  like
• 19:45
  a
• 19:45
  son
• 19:45
  of
• 19:46
  man.
• 19:48
  Now
• 19:48
  I
• 19:49
  want you
• 19:49
  to
• 19:49
  understand
• 19:49
  that
• 19:50
  in
• 19:50
  Hebrew
• 19:50
  this
• 19:51
  was a
• 19:51
  common
• 19:52
  way
• 19:52
  of
• 19:53
  referencing
• 19:53
  somebody
• 19:54
  to
• 19:54
  their
• 19:54
  kind.
• 19:55
  man.
• 19:56
  So
• 19:56
  what
• 19:57
  Daniel
• 19:57
  is saying
• 19:58
  is
• 19:58
  there
• 19:58
  came
• 19:59
  one
• 19:59
  who
• 19:59
  looked
• 20:00
  like
• 20:00
  a

  human.
• 20:01
  This
• 20:01
  is what
• 20:01
  he's
• 20:01
  saying.
• 20:02
  It's a
• 20:03
  descriptor
• 20:03
  in this
• 20:04
  case.
• 20:05
  But
• 20:06
  this is
• 20:07
  the
• 20:08
  descriptor
• 20:09
  that Jesus
• 20:09
  picks up
• 20:10
  as a
• 20:10
  title
• 20:11
  and he
• 20:12
  calls
• 20:12
  himself
• 20:13
  this
• 20:13
  more than
• 20:15
  anything
• 20:15
  else
• 20:15
  in the
• 20:15
  New
• 20:16
  Testament.
• 20:16
  He
• 20:16
  calls
• 20:16
  himself
• 20:17
  son
• 20:18
  of
• 20:19
  man.
• 20:20
  And
• 20:20
  to his
• 20:20
  listeners
• 20:21
  and
• 20:21
  if
• 20:21
  you're
• 20:22
  familiar
• 20:22
  with
• 20:22
  this
• 20:23
  text
• 20:24
  this
• 20:24
  would
• 20:25
  have
• 20:25
  brought
• 20:25
  up
• 20:25
  all
• 20:26
  kinds
• 20:26
  of
• 20:27
  imagery.
• 20:28
  They
• 20:29
  would
• 20:29
  have
• 20:29
  understood
• 20:30
  clearly
• 20:30
  who
• 20:30
  Jesus
• 20:31
  was
• 20:31
  saying
• 20:31
  that
• 20:31
  he
• 20:32
  was
• 20:32
  from
• 20:32
  here.
• 20:33
  So
• 20:33
  with
• 20:34
  the
• 20:34
  clouds
• 20:34
  of
• 20:34
  heaven
• 20:34
  there
• 20:35
  came
• 20:35
  one
• 20:35
  like
• 20:36
  a
• 20:36
  son
• 20:36
  of
• 20:37
  man
• 20:37
  and
• 20:38
  he
• 20:38
  came
• 20:39
  to
• 20:39
  the
• 20:39
  ancient
• 20:40
  of
• 20:40
  days
• 20:40
  and
• 20:41
  was
• 20:41
  presented
• 20:42
  before
• 20:42
  him
• 20:43
  and
• 20:44
  to
• 20:44
  him
• 20:45
  was
• 20:46
  given
• 20:46
  dominion
• 20:47
  and
• 20:47
  glory
• 20:48
  and
• 20:48
  a
• 20:49
  kingdom
• 20:49
  that
• 20:50
  all
• 20:50
  peoples
• 20:51
  nations
• 20:52
  and
• 20:52
  languages
• 20:53
  should
• 20:53
  serve
• 20:54
  him.
• 20:56
  His
• 20:56
  dominion
• 20:56
  is an
• 20:57
  everlasting
• 20:58
  dominion
• 20:59
  which
• 20:59
  shall
• 20:59
  not
• 21:00
  pass
• 21:00
  away
• 21:00
  and
• 21:01
  his
• 21:01
  kingdom
• 21:02
  one
• 21:02
  that
• 21:03
  shall
• 21:03
  not

  be

  again
• 21:07
  here

  Jesus

  a

  Jesus'

  I'm

  if you're

  Now if

  he would

  by

  God

  saying

  see

  that

  you

  again

  he's

  very

  careful

  instruction

  this

  to

  look

  like

  the

  then

  the

  which

  was

  all of
• 24:30
  the

  mosaic
• 24:30
  worship

  was like

  a dress

  for

  our

  in

  fact

  the

  verbal

  instruction

  we

  don't

  this
• 24:46
  factually
• 24:46
  but
• 24:47
  it
• 24:47
  suggests
• 24:48
  that
• 24:49
  Moses
• 24:49
  was
• 24:49
  actually
• 24:49
  shown

  a

  when

  he

  the

  with

  God

  that

  he

  saw

  what

  it

  was

  supposed
• 24:55
  to
• 24:56
  look

  like
• 24:57
  as
• 24:57
  he
• 24:57
  was

  to

  go
• 24:58
  down
• 24:58
  the

  mountain
• 24:59
  !
• 24:59
  and
• 24:59
  build
• 25:00
  this

  tabernacle
• 25:01
  the

  place

  where

  God's
• 25:02
  glory
• 25:03
  would

  dwell

  so

  Jesus

  has

  a

  as

  it

  Christ

  has

  obtained

  a

  that

  much

  more

  than

  the

  the

  that

  for

  a

  second
• 25:53
  now
• 25:54
  it's
• 25:55
  interesting
• 25:55
  to think
• 25:56
  of
• 25:56
  a
• 25:56
  covenant
• 25:57
  as
• 25:58
  with

  fault

  which
• 26:00
  is

  the

  case
• 26:01
  that's
• 26:01
  being

  made
• 26:02
  here
• 26:02
  the
• 26:03
  writer of
• 26:03
  Hebrews
• 26:04
  is
• 26:04
  saying
• 26:04
  that
• 26:05
  covenant
• 26:05
  had
• 26:06
  fault
• 26:07
  but
• 26:09
  we have
• 26:09
  to be
• 26:09
  careful
• 26:10
  at this
• 26:10
  point
• 26:10
  which
• 26:11
  covenant
• 26:11
  is he
• 26:11
  referring
• 26:12
  to
• 26:12
  he's
• 26:13
  referring
• 26:13
  to
• 26:14
  the
• 26:14
  mosaic
• 26:15
  covenant
• 26:16
  the

  that was

  made

  on the

  mountain
• 26:20
  with
• 26:21
  Moses
• 26:22
  he's
• 26:22
  not
• 26:22
  referring
• 26:23
  to
• 26:23
  the
• 26:24
  Abrahamic
• 26:25
  covenant
• 26:26
  right
• 26:26
  we can
• 26:27
  see
• 26:27
  this
• 26:28
  in
• 26:28
  Exodus
• 26:28
  chapter
• 26:29
  19
• 26:29

• 26:30
  and

  God
• 26:31
  says
• 26:31
  to
• 26:31
  Moses
• 26:32
  now
• 26:32
  therefore
• 26:32
  if
• 26:33
  you
• 26:34
  will
• 26:34
  indeed
• 26:34
  obey
• 26:35
  my

  voice
• 26:35
  and
• 26:36
  keep

  my

  you

  shall

  is

  shall

  be

  to

  me
• 26:43
  a
• 26:44
  kingdom
• 26:44
  of

  priests
• 26:44
  and
• 26:45
  a

  holy
• 26:45
  nation
• 26:46
  these
• 26:47
  are
• 26:47
  the
• 26:47
  words
• 26:48
  that
• 26:48
  you
• 26:48
  shall
• 26:48
  speak
• 26:49
  to
• 26:49
  the
• 26:49
  people
• 26:50
  of
• 26:50
  Israel
• 26:51
  so
• 26:53
  he
• 26:53
  makes
• 26:53
  a
• 26:54
  sure
• 26:54
  promise
• 26:55
  and
• 26:55
  that
• 26:55
  sure
• 26:55
  promise
• 26:56
  is
• 26:56
  if
• 26:57
  you
• 26:57
  will
• 26:58
  keep
• 26:58
  my
• 26:59
  commands
• 26:59
  then
• 27:01
  you
• 27:01
  will
• 27:01
  be
• 27:01
  my

  people
• 27:02
  so
• 27:05
  where's

  the fault
• 27:07
  in that
• 27:07
  it's
• 27:09
  with us
• 27:10
  the

  fault
• 27:11
  in it

  is

  with

  us

  because
• 27:14
  ever

  since

  the

  fall
• 27:15
  we

  are

  entirely

  incapable

  of

  keeping
• 27:19
  the

  God

  and

  this

  was

  meant

  to

  us
• 27:25
  to

  a

  greater

  it was

  to

  us
• 27:29
  at

  something
• 27:30
  better
• 27:31
  it was

  meant
• 27:32
  to
• 27:32
  expose

  to
• 27:34
  us
• 27:34
  our

  lostness
• 27:36
  look
• 27:37
  how
• 27:37
  incapable

  we

  are

  of

  keeping
• 27:39
  these
• 27:40
  commands
• 27:41
  of

  God
• 27:42
  so
• 27:44
  we

  have
• 27:44
  to
• 27:44
  be
• 27:44
  careful
• 27:44
  because

  we

  don't

  want

  to

  that

  the

  itself

  isn't

  it's

  very

  good
• 27:49
  God's

  God's

  the

  it

  I

  showed

  the

  was

  that

  it

  imperfect

  for

  God's
• 29:04
  law
• 29:05
  is
• 29:05
  perfect
• 29:06
  but
• 29:07
  it
• 29:07
  was

  flawed

  because

  it

  could

  we're

  question

  and answer

  13
• 29:19
  and the
• 29:20
  question
• 29:20
  is
• 29:20
  can
• 29:21
  anyone
• 29:21
  keep
• 29:21
  the
• 29:22
  law
• 29:22
  of
• 29:22
  God
• 29:22
  perfectly
• 29:23
  and the
• 29:24
  answer
• 29:25
  is
• 29:25
  since
• 29:26
  the
• 29:26
  fall
• 29:26
  no
• 29:27
  human

  has been

  able

  to keep
• 29:28
  the
• 29:28
  law
• 29:29
  of
• 29:29
  God
• 29:29
  perfectly
• 29:30
  and I
• 29:32
  think
• 29:33
  they're
• 29:33
  doing
• 29:33
  that
• 29:33
  that
• 29:34
  way
• 29:34
  for
• 29:34
  simplicity
• 29:35
  but I
• 29:36
  really
• 29:36
  want
• 29:36
  to say
• 29:36
  accept
• 29:37
  the
• 29:37
  God
• 29:37
  man
• 29:37
  Jesus
• 29:38
  Christ
• 29:39
  in

  his
• 29:42
  hypostatic
• 29:42
  union
• 29:43
  Christ
• 29:44
  being
• 29:45
  fully
• 29:45
  human
• 29:46
  is
• 29:47
  the
• 29:47
  one
• 29:48
  and
• 29:48
  only
• 29:49
  perfect
• 29:49
  law
• 29:51
  keeper
• 29:51
  he
• 29:52
  fulfills
• 29:53
  the
• 29:54
  Mosaic
• 29:54
  covenant
• 29:55
  and
• 29:56
  in
• 29:56
  him
• 29:57
  we
• 29:58
  do
• 29:58
  as
• 29:59
  well
• 29:59
  because
• 30:00
  we
• 30:01
  are
• 30:01
  unable
• 30:01
  to
• 30:01
  keep
• 30:02
  the

  old
• 30:02
  covenant
• 30:02
  Jesus
• 30:03
  Christ
• 30:04
  keeps
• 30:05
  it

  for

  us
• 30:06
  this

  that

  we

  we
• 30:16
  rightly

  so

  emphasize

  the

  Jesus

  in

• 30:20
  right

  we

  should

  spend

  much

  time

  thinking

  about

  obedience
• 30:24
  on

  the

  cross
• 30:25
  right
• 30:25
  his

  death
• 30:26
  is
• 30:27
  bearing

  the wrath
• 30:27
  of
• 30:28
  God
• 30:28
  for

  us
• 30:29
  right
• 30:29
  but

  that's

  not

  the

  complete

  he
• 30:32
  also
• 30:32
  was
• 30:33
  actively
• 30:33
  obedient
• 30:34
  he
• 30:35
  kept
• 30:35
  the
• 30:36
  law
• 30:36
  of
• 30:37
  God
• 30:37
  he
• 30:37
  was
• 30:38
  without
• 30:38
  sin
• 30:39
  he
• 30:39
  was
• 30:40
  righteous
• 30:40
  that
• 30:41
  he
• 30:41
  would
• 30:41
  grant
• 30:41
  to

  us

  righteousness

  we

  the

  a

  limited

  the

  to

  God
• 35:42
  in

  Christ
• 35:44
  this
• 35:46
  is
• 35:46
  a
• 35:46
  cool
• 35:47
  reality
• 35:48
  that
• 35:49
  we

  can
• 35:49
  approach
• 35:49
  God
• 35:50
  and
• 35:50
  not

  be
• 35:50
  utterly

  destroyed

  because

  of
• 35:52
  what
• 35:53
  Jesus
• 35:53
  has
• 35:53
  done
• 35:53
  and

  his

  of that
• 35:59
  is

  thick

  thickening
• 36:02
  and not
• 36:03
  thin
• 36:03
  you
• 36:04
  would
• 36:04
  just
• 36:05
  take
• 36:05
  some
• 36:05
  time
• 36:06
  to
• 36:06
  really
• 36:07
  consider
• 36:07
  what

  that

  means
• 36:08
  for
• 36:09
  you

  the

  ancient
• 36:11
  of

• 36:17
  with

  him
• 36:18
  this
• 36:20
  is

  incredible
• 36:20
  and not
• 36:21
  as
• 36:21
  just

  holy

  sub
• 41:58
  point
• 41:59
  d
• 41:59
  and
• 42:00
  finally
• 42:00
  the new
• 42:04
  covenant
• 42:04
  has a
• 42:05
  supreme
• 42:06
  forgiveness
• 42:07
  ending
• 42:08
  I think this is best of all.
• 42:13
  Verse 12.
• 42:16
  God says, for I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
• 42:21
  and I will remember their sins no more.
• 42:27
  I think we, as American Christians,
• 42:33
  most of us, at very least,
• 42:35
  grew up under some sense of morality.
• 42:42
  Had some trajectory of goodness,
• 42:45
  at least in our own thinking of it.
• 42:49
  And I think because of that,
• 42:51
  far too many of us have never really felt the weight of our rebellion
• 42:56
  against a most holy God.
• 42:59
  Not really understood his good reign
• 43:04
  over us and our abject rejection of it.
• 43:10
  Have not seen that if we have failed at any point of the law,
• 43:16
  then we have failed at all points of the law.
• 43:21
  We have been found imperfect for our God.
• 43:26
  And what we do for that is his eternal wrath,
• 43:32
  his eternal judgment poured out on us.
• 43:37
  We think in small consequence, don't we?
• 43:41
  There's great consequence for our sin.
• 43:48
  And so when the author of Hebrews quotes Jeremiah chapter 31,
• 43:52
  God saying, I will be merciful.
• 43:55
  He's talking about being merciful towards enemies,
• 43:59
  haters of his.
• 44:00
  I will be merciful towards their iniquities.
• 44:04
  And I will remember their sins no more.
• 44:10
  That will be forgotten in this new covenant.
• 44:14
  I have a hard time forgetting my sin
• 44:19
  because Christ is a great high priest
• 44:22
  who's ministering on my behalf.
• 44:25
  God has forgotten my sin.
• 44:29
  I have no need to carry around the guilt of my sin
• 44:32
  because God's forgotten it.
• 44:35
  What an incredible truth.
• 44:39
  Psalm 103, verse 11 and 12,
• 44:41
  For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
• 44:45
  immeasurable,
• 44:47
  so great is his steadfast love
• 44:49
  toward those who fear him.
• 44:51
  As far as the east is from the west, infinite,
• 44:56
  so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
• 45:01
  Because we have this Christ
• 45:05
  as our great high priest.
• 45:10
  The author of Hebrews concludes,
• 45:13
  he's no longer quoting Jeremiah 31,
• 45:16
  verse 13 of chapter 8 he says,
• 45:19
  In speaking of a new covenant,
• 45:22
  he makes the first one obsolete.
• 45:26
  We never could and we are not required
• 45:29
  to keep God's law to be accepted by him.
• 45:35
  And what is becoming obsolete and growing old
• 45:37
  is ready to vanish away.
• 45:41
  What has replaced it
• 45:42
  is the righteousness that comes
• 45:45
  by faith in Christ.
• 45:48
  Christ who has a supreme priesthood.
• 45:53
  And because he has a supreme priesthood,
• 45:57
  he is the priest of a supreme new covenant.
• 46:03
  I pray this morning,
• 46:04
  and I'll pray in a moment this morning,
• 46:07
  that you can join with me today
• 46:09
  and that we will forever be together
• 46:12
  and we will cry out
• 46:14
  to him who sits on the throne,
• 46:16
  to the lamb be blessing
• 46:18
  and honor and glory
• 46:20
  and might forever and ever.
• 46:23
  Amen.
