Hebrews 9:1-28
As our preacher continues to make his case for the supremacy of Christ over the system of religion his congregation left behind, he makes the case that what is unseen (Christ’s mediation in the heavenly places) is better than what can be seen (the work of the priests in the Temple in Jerusalem). At first glance that seems wrong: isn’t it better to see? Isn’t it harder to believe when you can’t see, when you don’t have proof? This Sunday, we continue working our way through the central argument of Hebrews by looking at chapter 9 and the author’s insistence that what happens in heaven is superior to what can be done on earth.
From Series: "Hebrews: Jesus Is Better"
This summer, our sermon series will take us through the book of Hebrews. Although Hebrews is one of the most important New Testament books because of its teaching on the divinity of Jesus, the relationship between the old and new covenants, and it’s insight on early Christian worship, among other things, the book is shrouded in mystery: who wrote it, to whom was it written, what kind of book is it anyway?
