Why We are Better Off Under Christ

This sermon contrasts the Old and New Testaments based on this passage from Hebrews.

Main Lesson: Under Christ we find a better ministry with better promises.

Summary of the Old & New Testament contrasts:

1. Under Christ we receive a ministry from heaven, not from some miniature temple on earth.
2. Under Christ we win God’s favor,
   by grace, not by performing some ceremonial ritual.
3. Under Christ he sacrifices himself, not just some animal.
4. Under Christ, we are forgiven -- made right with God, not condemned by the Law.
5. Under Christ, we are being changed from the inside out;
   Not just handed some cold stone commandments.
   Conclusion: Under Christ we receive a better ministry with better promises.
